- When you upgrade TB from 3.x to 10.x it disables the old extensions,
so the autoupdate from the extensions wont run....

In my setup I just copy to my users' PCs a directory with thunderbird installed every time there's a new version. I put the extensions in the same folder as thunderbird, not in the profile. Even in this setup old extensions are disabled by default, but by touching a couple of files you can avoid that in order to ensure a smooth upgrade:

In defaults/prefs I add a file "local-prefs.js" with this content:

pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
//see http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2320715


Then I create a file mozilla.cfg (in the same directory where thunderbird is installed) with this content (the first line must be a comment):

//
lockPref("extensions.autoDisableScopes", 11);
lockPref("signon.rememberSignons", false);
lockPref("toolkit.telemetry.enabled", false);
lockPref("toolkit.telemetry.prompted", true);



The line that avoid disabling the extensions in the installation directory is "extensions.autoDisableScopes", the other are unrelated preferences that I want to enforce.
