I make some changes in the xpi
1) download that xpi
2) jar -xvf email_notification_randomizer-1.2.4-tb.xpi
3) open install.rdf
4) change the version to support TB 3
<em:minVersion>3.0</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>3.1.*</em:maxVersion>
5) jar -uvf email_notification_randomizer-1.2.4-tb.xpi install.rdf
6) Yep...thats it.

Kudos to Joshua for this excellent addon! I found this addon when I had 2.x TB; now I'm running Linux Mint 9 and the TB 3.0.4 and quite disappointed that my fav TB addon is not available...I'm anxiously waiting for the upgrade.

As noted earlier, it seems the randomizer no longer works with the current release of tbird (.23 for me atm). I'm bumming.

Doesn't seem to work with TBird 2.0.0.22, c'mon anytime now...

This is, bar none, my all time favorite add-on, both for Thunderbird and Firefox.

Thank you, Joshua, for updating it! Thank you, thank you!

I was crushed when it stopped working almost two years ago. (Why? See below.) I left it "attached" to Thunderbird all this time ... just in case. When I started Thunderbird at home this evening, leaving it in place paid off, big time.

I use Thunderbird at home and at work and while I don't find email to be annihilatingly awful, I spend a horrendous amount of time reading and writing it. I easily write nearly 5,000 messages at work alone in a year.

One of the computer-geeky things I have is a substantial collection of funny (or alarming, or ...) sound files. I've been saving them for a very long time, simply because I found them to be funny, or ... well, something. I don't have any way to hear them short of firing them up individually, and I don't have much time for that, so they mostly sit in a folder and gather virtual dust.

This add-on brings the collection to life and makes receiving mail fun: I will, more likely than not, get a good laugh with each new message. Laughter is, I think, very good for many reasons, and it's more than great when it happens under circumstances which involve a lot of pressure and cause stress. Enough said.

On a serious note, the old interface was pretty slick, but the new one is equally good for different reasons: it's small, simple and direct.

So, thank you very much again for taking the time to update this add-on. I'm sure it took more time than was readily available and probably a significant amount of that. I'd give a PayPal donation if I could. I'm bringing a flash drive full of WAV files to work tomorrow, will install the add-on, and it's neat knowing I'll be getting a real kick out of new mail at work for quite some time to come.

Tad,

Thank you very much for your kind words. You just made the effort it took to create this update 100% worth while and you made my morning. Would you mind if I used quotes from your review in my standard description in the add-on?

Simple but great. Fun and keeps my attention when i would get used to a consistent notification. Loved it but it is not compatible with 2.0 and I am missing it greatly!!
How can we update this?!?!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.2.2).

Sorry for the delay. I stepped out for a while and just got back to fixing up my extensions. Thunderbird 2.0 support is now available! Version 1.2.3 is currently submitted for support team review and will be released shortly.

Sorry for the delay. I got busy and stepped away from maintaining this for a while. I just got back and updated for version 1.2.3 with T-Bird 2.0 support. It's in review and will be released soon. Enjoy!
