Do I know any #NVDASR people who have used Betterbird? Been trying it out portable here, seems more responsive with a bloated profile that Thunderbird has been choking on. However, I was hoping I'd be able to persuade the Thunderbird+G5 add-on to work with it. I've set Betterbird as a trigger for the profile the G5 add-on makes, no dice. Have I missed something obvious, any other suggestions of things to try?

David Goldfield reshared this.

Is the betterbird executable called thunderbird? addons use the name of the app to know what to load.

@cachondo Aha, renaming the exe did it, thanks! Lost all my profile stuff somehow but hopefully I can just point it to the right places again. Now let's see how much stuff from the add-on works.

@DavidGoldfield I tried to use Betterbird, but when I press Enter upon an item in an RSS feed, the entire web page is loaded, even though I've configured it to display the item's content only.
