TB58 freezes with KeeFox "options"

[r2evans]

When I upgraded from TB52 to TB58b2, I assumed that I should use Kee 2.0, so I uninstalled keefox-1.7.2 and went forward. When I found that Kee 2.0 is not supported in TB, I opted to downgrade to 1.7.2, however, I'm unable to set the options: when I click on keefox's "Options" button on the add-ons page, the entire TB interface freezes and requires hard-killing (no key sequence seems to show the options modal and/or break out of it).

(The problem may not be the same, but when MarkdownHere showed a similar problem in FF, I found a workaround that involved a bit of debugger code. Just a thought. I've not found a way to find something similar for KeeFox.)

I believe this is not relevant for Kee 2.0.

I realize this may be a lower priority than your current efforts on Kee 2.0. Thanks for your efforts!

Versions: keefox-1.7.2, TB 58b2, win10_64

See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Add-ons_Guide_57
(This applies to any TB57+ problems).

I had seen that page but since it says "still support these add-ons if the appropriate modifications are done", I interpret it to mean that this was not an immediate factor. Do I need to try TB57 to help nail things down?

(The interfaces listed as removed, changed, etc, are a bit foreign to me. I don't know which API changes on that page may be impacting this issue.)

There was one section about an options bug that was being fixed, but I didn't read it yet.

All mentions of "options" bugs are on TB59, not TB58.
