address book

[Foppe de Haan]

try updating tb, looks like it's a bug in 60.5.

[Jon deps]

thanks, well I just use whatever Fedora-29 provides which at the moment
is 60.5.1

where did you see the bug report ?

it seems to have been this way for many months, can't create new
contact, can add any new info to existing entries, I tried removing the
.mab files in .thunderbird and making a new "book" but still can't
add any entries .......

I resolved the problem using the Thunderbird CardBook plug-in. Follow
the installation instructions as they provide useful information about
switching from the built-in address book.

It is more standards compliant (easier import/export options) and the
UI is better (in my opinion). You can try it for a while before
committing to CardBook (I only took a couple of days; my wife took a
couple of weeks).

Cheers,
John
