Hi,

Provider 1.8.5 add on.  There isn't a newer version of the add-on available.

Wouldn't it be nice if the installation routine checked for add-on
incompatibilities *before* it actually installed the new version?

Why would you expect Mozilla to check each and every one of thousands of extensions, written by other developers, to be compatible with an updated Thunderbird. Especially when that update also provides security patches?

I would think that the *user* should be responsible to check that. That way the *user* would know that this extension still works when mixed in with all of the other extensions that this *user* has installed. A compilation that might be unique. A 'one of a kind' combination.
