Re: [orca-list] Thunderbird 24 non-responsiveness (was Re: Orca uses much cpu on my machine)

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
Thank you verry much for the good news.
At the same time I am also in contact with Trevor Saunders from Mozilla 
trying to get this one identified so far.
What Trev is recomending is to run a nightly version of Thunderbird, use 
this profiler addon to capture thunderbird in such a state so they can 
take a look at it. Unfortunatelly I don't know how do I install an addon 
from a file. Sighted people can click a dropdown button next to the 
search field in the addon manager window however this is not accessible 
to me.

Here is the addon I am tallking about:
https://github.com/bgirard/Gecko-Profiler-Addon/blob/master/geckoprofiler.xpi?raw=true

Thanks and greetings

Peter
