Our Reminderfox is compatible up to TB60.x. Many users left Firefox
behind after 57, moved to Waterfox (Classic) and TB, but these days with
version 68 for TB and Waterfox it seems Reminderfox is dead or ...
Looking into the elementary setups of Reminderfox there are
implementations which go with XUL features. One important point is the
customizing of the menubar to place Reminderfox icons for access of
functions like, open the main list/dialog, direct open the add event
dialog -- just to name two. Moving to vers.68 compatibility without
those access points it doesn't make sense to invest time and effort for
a Reminderfox update.
Forgive if there are details available how to implement a functionality
like the "old" customize. If that it's possible and there are details
'how to' please give a note.

PS I'm very well aware there are more problems for an update >60.x, but
the user handling is a key for this addon.
Have you considered writing experiment APIs to cover the entrance points you are missing?

Thanks Philipp,
that tells me currently there is no method for that. If you point to the
possibility the write an experimental API it would be good to give some
reference how to go for that. Can you?

Hi Günter,
I haven't checked what we've lately added in extension points. Have you
checked by https://developer.thunderbird.net/ ? It is linked in the
sidebar under the item "MailExtension APIs" and then the Experiments
section in the sidebar there.
One thing to keep in mind when writing APIs that integrate with UI is
forward compatibility. If Thunderbird were to change the UI under the
hood, could the API you are writing still exist, or is it very specific
to certain UI elements?
