> I am trying to figure out how to get Thunderbird to silently install a plugin. I only need it to run once as the plugin I am trying to install is the SOGo integrator. After the initial install it should be able to update itself after that. I have tried the "version 4 or later" section on the wiki but thunderbird does not auto install the plugin no matter what I set the extensions.autoDisableScopes to. Does anyone have this working? I am trying to do this with Thunderbird 10.0.8 ESR as that is needed for my plugins.

Here's the package description I use to deploy SOGo addons:

<packages>
<package id="sogo-addons"
              name="Addons SOGo"
              revision="3"
              reboot="false"
              priority="10">

<!-- 7zip est nécessaire pour extraire l'XPI -->
<depends package-id="7zip" />
<!-- Et bien sur, Thunderbird aussi est nécessaire ;-) -->
<depends package-id="thunderbird" />
<!-- le deploiement de config Thunderbird aussi est nécessaire -->
<depends package-id="thunderbird-config" />
<!-- Lightning aussi doit être installé -->
<depends package-id="lightning" />

<upgrade include="install" />

<downgrade include="install" />

<remove cmd='taskkill /F /IM thunderbird.exe'>

It'll just install the three needed plugins (sogo-integrator, 
sogo-connector. Lightning is in a separate package, but I use the same 
method) in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\distribution\bundles

You need to have the unzip.bat script available. Here's mine:

"%PROGRAMFILES%\7-Zip\7z.exe" x -yo%2 %1 >NUL


With this solution, you don't need the updates.php script on your 
server, and you can manage addons upgrades like any software through 
WPKG (that was my goal).
