Thunderbird 68 was released yesterday and requires changes to add-ons. Will you update the add-on to make it compatible with Thunderbird 68?

Hello, I modified the extension so it is working with Thunderbird 68.

The addon now needs a manifest.json file instead of the old install.rdf file to work.
You have to create a new manifest.json file with the following content:

{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "TORPEDO - TOoltip-poweRed Phishing Email DetectiOn",
"description": "TORPEDO is a tool for recognizing untrustworthy links (phishing). Move the mouse pointer over a link in your email. TORPEDO displays the correct web address in a tooltip and helps you to analyze it. Trustworthy links are displayed in a green box. Links you opened at least two times are displayed in an orange box.",
"version": "2.3.2",
"author": "TU Darmstadt SECUSO",
"homepage_url": "https://secuso.aifb.kit.edu/TORPEDO.php",
"applications": {
"gecko": {
"id": "torpedo@tu-darmstadt.de",
"strict_min_version": "68.0"
}
},
"icons": {
"32": "torpedo/skin/icon32.png"
},
"legacy": {
"type": "xul",
"options": {
"page": "chrome://torpedo/content/options.xul",
"open_in_tab": true
}
}
}

Copy/move the manifest.json file to the root directory of .xpi addon.

The 64 pixel icon is to big and did not show up in the extension. So I resized it to a 32 pixel icon.
You have to store the resized icon in the \chrome\skin\ directory and name it icon32.png.
Just add the modified files to the .xpi addon with a zip archiver. .xpi addons are compressed with zip format.

Now the extension can be installed in Thunderbird 68.x and above without error. The extension is working so far and I haven't an issue yet.
But maybe the Devs could have a look at it too, if these modifications are sufficiently.

Thanks @protvis74 that works.
Sadly the menu have some bugs. If i go to "Domains" and click on "show entrys" from Dev, the list is empty

We are currently updating TORPEDO to work on the newest version of Thunderbird. However, there are also some under the hood changes in Thunderbird which render this non-trivial. Please bear with us until the add-on is updated.

Works in Thunderbird 68.x, so this issue can be closed.
