#10588: TorBirdy: Preferences not restored
----------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: novice1 | Owner: ioerror
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: TorBirdy | Version:
Keywords: TorBirdy | Actual Points:
Parent ID: | Points:
----------------------+-------------------------
(Thunderbird 24.2.0 / TorBirdy 0.1.2)
According to the TorBirdy documentation: "The preferences that TorBirdy
changes are restored to their original values when it is uninstalled or
disabled, thus restoring your Thunderbird's state to exactly what it was
prior to TorBirdy's installation."
This does not appear correct. It does not take into account preferences
that were changed _prior_ to TorBirdy's installation - it restores instead
Thunderbird's *default* settings.
For example, prior to installation, the following preferences were set:
- Show message body as: Plain Text
- Display Attachments Inline: Disabled
- View\Toolbars\Quick Filter Bar: Disabled
After installation, *every time* TorBirdy is disabled, these settings are
not saved, and preferences are returned to Thunderbird defaults, not the
user's own defaults.
