FYI, I'm attempting to revive the userChromeJS add-on for Thunderbird
60+. As far as I know the old version of the add-on hasn't been
maintained in a long-time. This is basically a from-scratch
re-implementation as a bootstrapped add-on. See
https://addons.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/addon/userchromejs-2/ and
https://github.com/jikamens/userChromeJS. Let me know if you have any
thoughts, comments, etc., or if there's some reason I'm missing why this
is a terrible idea. ;-)

Hi there,
I think this is marvellous! I've been using the old version to load the
Activity Manager into a tab:
if (location == "chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul") {
document.getElementById("activityManager").setAttribute("oncommand",
"openContentTab('chrome://messenger/content/activity.xul');");
}
I've downloaded the your version and it works, thank you so much! That's
very important for me to move off TB 60.
I was surprised to see that you can do the basic function in 45 lines;
the old one was somewhat bigger, but then it could do other things like
"overlaying chrome with .xul overlays"[1].
I've been in contact with Alta88, the author of the original, in May
2018 and I had the impression that he wouldn't make it fit for TB 60+.
Jörg.
