[opensuse] openSUSE bug in Thunderbird?
Thunderbird by default blocks remote content in messages. The user has the option to whitelist exceptions to that rule, which should be retained by T'bird after it is closed. However, my T'bird is flushing the list every time it is closed. Checking prefs.js, the permissions are correct and the file is being saved after Preference changes. I did check prefs.js after manually entering/saving an exception in Preferences, but found nothing. The file is being saved upon doing a save in Preferences or upon closing the app. Googling the problem I found this on the Mozilla support site: "Thunderbird no longer saves remote content exceptions after program close." https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1204666 According to the OP who uses Tumbleweed, this is only happening for users of SUSE versions, including the SUSE Mozilla repo. Another poster indicated that s/he had corrected the problem by installing directly from the Mozilla site. I am running 52.8-63.1 which was just updated from 52.8-1.1 where I discovered the problem; the update did not correct it. Anyone else seeing this problem? Suggestions?

Hi, please follow https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1084603. It is a known issue which appears to happen for everyone. It's not clear what is broken. There is no obvious reason.
