Now that Thunderbird 78 is available, un upgrade to new API should be done.
@malix0 That's great news! When do you think it will be ready for testing?

In the meanwhile: would be nice if someone can make it TB 78 compatible :-)...
I tried the standard workarounds, but they aren't working (or I am doing something wrong).
When I restart TB I get "incompatible version" again.
Using TB 78.4.0 (32 bits).
Same for me, unable to get it working with TB 78.4.0
Changing "strict_min_version" and "strict_max_version" in manifest.json doesn't help any more...

This link says that 'legacy webextension' which is used in this addon is deprecated.
So the min/max_version may not enough for the change.
I am not familiar with thunderbird addon, so I have no idea how I can handle.
Yes, TB 78 will require a large change in the addon code.

@opto has forked this plugin to work on newer TB, which you can get at https://github.com/opto/Expression-Search-NG/releases
P.S. Bugzilla is not for "me too" comments, that's what voting is for.
