Hello,

I installed Fedora 8 today. I downloaded and installed Thunderbird from
Package Manager. The RSS and Blogs reading feature in Thunderbird seems
to be missing. When I click File>New>Account in Thunderbird, I see only
Email account, Gmail and Newsgroup account. IIRC, RSS and Blog was also
there when was I using Thunderbird on F7.

What am I missing something? How can I read RSS and Blogs in
Thunderbird?


Thats strange, I have the RSS & Blogs option available on my F8
Thunderbird install. Do you see any errors in the logs / terminal?



I did not see any errors when I started Thunderbird from the terminal. I
have uploaded the screenshot at

Any ideas?

Just a wild guess:

1. Try starting Thunderbird with all addons disabled:
thunderbird -safe-mode
2. Try with a fresh profiles directory
3. Last resort, try reinstalling the thunderbird rpm.

The install getting messed up is rare. But there is a possibility that
an addon is messing up things. This can be easily verified by disabling
all the addons. But if an addon has modified the base files, then trying
out a new profile should rule it out.

later,
Rogue
