In the SM 2.35 release notes, it says:
After creating a news account through clicking a news URL, the
MailNews
account wizard may be broken (the account type will always be
News). To
work around the problem, set the mail.server.serverX.valid pref
(where X
is the internal number of the corresponding news account) to true in
about:config.
There is no setting for "mail.server.serverX.valid" in
about:config, for
either mail or newsgroups. Why would you not just change
"mail.server.serverX.type" from nntp to pop3 (or imap)?
This is a 15-year-old bug, #41133. See
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41133>, especially
comment
#8.
And SeaMonkey 2.35 is affected? Last comment was made 2013-01-13.
I think the Mail-News component is affected, thus affecting both
SeaMonkey and Thunderbird. The bug report was never closed.
So, if I enter the address in Firefox with Thunderbird open, and no
mozilla news server configured it should create it like it does in
SeaMonkey. Confirmed that SM 2.35 is still affected BTW.
I will test that later today
Tested with Firefox 40.0.3 (new profile) and Thunderbird 38.2.0 (new
profile). Both installed from my Software Management application.
Clicking the link in Comment 0 opens a Launch Application dialog box and
doesn't create a newsgroup account in Thunderbird. Same with the link in
Comment 8.
I only see the problem in SeaMonkey.
