We had identified an issue in which some users may have one or more of their add-ons hidden after upgrading to the latest Thunderbird version (7.0). These add-ons and their data are still intact and haven’t actually been removed. Released today, the latest update for Thunderbird fixes this issue. You can find more details on the Add-ons Blog.
