AFAIK the Thunderbird extensions should be filed against Thunderbird then the maintainer ( or triager ) should move it to the appropriate place in upstream bugzilla if needed . There is a reason I left out debugging Thunderbird extensions since it requires you to setup different profile turning on couple knobs in about:config extract jar file etc.. > The "Debugging Thunderbird" section could use some clarification.

I would rather say that https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces#Obtaining_a_stack_trace_using_just_GDB is less informitive than the debugging section since it lacks the sample output. The reason I put the sample output is to take out any mental uncertainty ( or insecurity ) the low-knowledge reporter could be dealing with. This is how you execute the command. This is the output if you are doing it right..... > Does the gdb logging described on the Thunderbird page get you anything > more than a stack trace? > > Try it break Thunderbird or Thunderbird extension and see for yourself...
