Hi Ingo, is there any chance to make this plugin compatible with TB 68? Is this just a setting you need to do, or is there anything else where one could support you in development or testing?

Mozilla broke most addons with the recent update, ThunderBirthDay is one of them.
Mozilla's update note:

IMPORTANT: Add-ons not marked as compatible with Thunderbird 60 by their authors will be disabled (this can be reverted via preference extensions.strictCompatibility)

However, forcing Thunderbird to accept old addons doesn't work.
Error message on restart:

Beim Bereitstellen des Kalenders mit der Adresse moz-abdirectory:// ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. Er wird nicht verfügbar sein.

Unfortunately it isnt possible to choose "All Adressbooks" during the calendar creation dialog. The "next"-button isnt disabled but there is no response. If I choose only one adressbook it works perfectly.

Discussion started already in https://github.com/ingomueller-net/ThunderBirthDay/issues/14, but I think it's worth opening a new issue for the new version 78.

For me, the plugin was running successfully with the 68 pre-release version in the discussion linked. Since the last update, Thunderbird blocks its once more saying it's not compatible anymore. Please help! :)

Hi!

I just installed this extension and was wondering why it does not show any birthdays.. Then I realized, that it does not work for me as I use the cardbook extension (which allows proper synchronisation of the adressbook with CardDaV). Is it possible to use it with the adressbook of that extension somehow?

Thanks!

I received the update to Thunderbird 68.1.1 and I found that most of the extensions are not working anymore. Some I kicked, but ThunderBirthDay I want to keep. I hope you can fix this.

In this bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151994 is also less activity and it is filed 18 years ago. When there is no native integration of this usefull addon, then please make it working again. Thanks.

It would be nice to get calendar entries for contacts, which do not have a birthyear given. Is this possible? Currently those contacts will not appear in the calendar.

TB 38.6.0, Lightning 4.0.6

@ingomueller-net Please take a look at #11

Users are reporting to me that creation of calendars is broken. They get the following error at the end of the calendar creation dialogue:

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.getIntPref]" nsresult: "0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)" location: "JS frame :: jar:file:///C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/fcqbcs51.stw/extensions/%7B4C9FE6FE-2C83-11DC-90B4-DC8456D89593%7D.xpi!/js/calThunderBirthDay.js :: MyLOG :: line 948" data: no]

The related line looks like this:

MyLOG.mVerbosity = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"]
                             .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefService)
                             .getBranch("extensions.thunderbirthday.")
                             .getIntPref("verbosity");

At a first glance, it seems like getIntPref has changed and now throws an exception if the value does not exist. It probably needs a default parameter aDefaultValue, see documentation.

I do not have time to try it. Help would be greatly appreciated.
