10.1.3. Enigmail fails to install on Firefox.
Enigmail is an extension for Thunderbird and the SeaMonkey mailclient. It is
not supposed to, and hence cannot, be installed in Firefox.
If you use Firefox to download Enigmail, you need to right-click on the download
link, select Save as..., and save the XPI file on your machine. Then open
Thunderbird, go to Tools → Add-ons → Extensions, click the Install button and
select the XPI Enigmail file. Restart Thunderbird afterwards.
If you're looking for a GnuPG extension for Firefox, for instance to
encrypt/decrypt/sign messages using webmail, then have a look at the FireGPG
extension at http://getfiregpg.org.
10.1.4. The Add-ons Manager shows “This item will be
installed after you restart Thunderbird”. Or, there is
no Enigmail user interface visible.
The Add-ons Manager checks whether an extension is validated to work on
your version of Thunderbird. If you have updated Thunderbird and are trying to
install a previous version of Enigmail, it may be that Enigmail has not been
validated against the new version.
Hence, you will need to remove Enigmail or use a version that is validated for
the version of Thunderbird you're using. The Add-ons Manager currently does
not remove extensions in the correct way, therefore in order to remove Enigmail
you will need to shut down Thunderbird and delete the Chrome and
Extensions directories from your profile.
This problem may also happen on SeaMonkey.
10.1.5. I have updated Enigmail on Thunderbird, and now it
keeps telling me: “A previous install did not complete
correctly. Finishing install.”
Follow these steps:
Go to your Thunderbird installation directory and delete the file
xpicleanup.dat.
Run Thunderbird, go to Tools → Add-ons → Extensions, select the Enigmail
extension and click on Disable. Restart Thunderbird.
Install the new version of Enigmail, then enable Enigmail again from the Add-
ons Manager.
Restart Thunderbird and this problem should be fixed.
10.1.6. I can't tell whether Enigmail works or not.
If installation was successful, restart Thunderbird / SeaMonkey. Then look on
the Mail/News window, which should have an OpenPGP menu on the menubar.
Selecting OpenPGP → About OpenPGP will display the Enigmail version
number and GnuPG executable details.
