Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2 Build Identifier: TB version 1.5.0.2 (20060308) When replacing TB 1.5 with TB 1.5.0.2 by hand you drag the TB program file to the trash and put the new TB program file in the applications folder. Or you simply drag the new TB file in the applications folder and let it replace the old TB. However: If you install the new TB manually all your spelling dictionaries are lost because they are not placed in a folder within the TB profile but they are installed within the TB application/package itself. This sucks and is definively a bug. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: Language/spelling dictionatries should be installed in a folder within the profile. They should not installed within the program itself. Or they get lost when you upgrade your Thunderbird manually.
