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.
