mintrayr: Does not contain a valid install manifest
Hi, when installing the extension (latest version 1.4.6) to Thunderbird 60.0 (Linux), it is not present in extension list after restart and error console shows:
mintrayr - extension path: /.../.thunderbird/.../extensions/mintray-reanimated@ysard.xpi trayservice.jsm:66:5
mintrayr - extraction path: /.../.thunderbird/.../extensions/mintray-reanimated@ysard trayservice.jsm:72:5

Hi, here you will find a specific version for the current problem: https://github.com/ysard/mintrayr/releases/tag/1.4.6dev But keep it mind that it is not a clean way to install an addon…
One more think I want to report is that when the add-on appears under add-ons menu although I click on it no gui menu opens to configure it. When I try to configure it using config.editor no entries appear. If I close the application and I open it again and although this time the add-on does not appear under add-ons menu it works properly and it is configurable using config.editor.
I will report here the copy-paste procedure’s result.
Regards.
Hello.
Same issue for me using xenial (xubuntu 16.04.5 64bit) and thunderbird 60.2.1 I tried both 1.4.4 and 1.4.6 versions and always i am getting the same error message at console:
I am wondering why when this message appears the add-on works but it does not appear in extensions menu or under add-ons menu. Some times thunderbird loads without any error and those times I can see the add-on in extension menu and under add-ons menu but it does not work.
I fully deleted /.thunderbird from my /home to remove any conflict and although the directory was recreated the issue persists.
I have to mention that I installed the 1.4.4 version on another older machine using xenial 16.04.5 32 bit and works fine with thunderbird 60.2.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
