extIExtensions

This content covers features introduced in Thunderbird 3

The extIExtensions interface represents a list of all installed extensions. extIExtensions is defined in toolkit/components/exthelper/extIApplication.idl.

Implemented via XPCOM service for extIApplication: see the instructions on the FUEL (Firefox), STEEL (Thunderbird) and SMILE (SeaMonkey) pages.

 

Please note that as of Firefox 4.0 or Thunderbird 3.2, this interface is no longer available through Application.extensions. You shall use the new add-on manager instead. Please see http://www.oxymoronical.com/blog/2010/03/How-were-breaking-some-extensions-in-the-near-future for details until the proper documentation is added to MDC.
