Bug Description

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Hi,

I have thunderbird-globalmenu installed, but thunderbird's menu does not show up in the Indicator Applet Application menu, unlike Firefox and almost all other gnome applications.

Cheers.

I should add that thunderbird-globalmenu is not listed as an addon either, but I'm not sure if it should be.

I just upgraded a laptop from maverick to natty, and saw this same problem, too (also didn't appear as a listed add-on). I was able to track down the issue to /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.1.10 having an empty directory 'extensions' instead of a symlink to ../thunderbird-addons/extensions.

I resolved the issue with:
$ cd /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.1.10/
$ sudo rmdir extensions/ ; sudo ln -s ../thunderbird-addons/extensions/ ./

I've now removed/reinstalled TB, and the bug is gone.
