Registry problems in Thunderbird
My Mozilla extensions Launchy uses the Windows registry to automatically detect applications. Some of the most difficult applications to detect are the Mozilla applications. Why? Because of the inconsistency in the use of the registry.
I just installed Mozilla Firefox 0.9 and Mozilla Thunderbird 0.7 on a fresh Windows and here is a screenshot of the Windows registry after:
The problem is that Mozilla Thunderbird writes some of it's registry entries under "mozilla.org" and some under "Mozilla", while Mozilla Firefox writes all of it's registry entries under "Mozilla". I think Mozilla Firefox used to write under "mozilla.org" but that seems to have changed.
I've filed a bug to get this fixed. Basically this will cause problems for Launchy since it only looks one place for the applications either "Mozilla" or "mozilla.org".
