With Thunderbird and SeaMonkey becoming independent products, more independent than they have been before, it was clear that the projects wanted full control over the add-ons platform. One core factor for the decision to fork the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey extension repositories was that Mozilla plans to remove legacy extensions from its platform in the near future (meaning 2018 likely).Ĭonsidering that Thunderbird and SeaMonkey do support legacy add-ons still, and will for the foreseeable future, it was clear that something needed to be done about it to provide users with options to download compatible extensions.Īnother factor that played a role was that Thunderbird development and management was split from Mozilla even though the project remained under the umbrella of Mozilla Foundation.

Even users of Firefox-based browsers could point their browsers to to search for, download, and install browser extensions. Up until now, Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey users, used a single portal for extensions for their products.
