Why would you expect Mozilla to check each and every one of thousands of 
extensions, written by other developers, to be compatible with an 
updated Thunderbird. Especially when that update also provides security 
patches?

I would think that the *user* should be responsible to check that. That 
way the *user* would know that this extension still works when mixed in 
with all of the other extensions that this *user* has installed. A 
compilation that might be unique. A 'one of a kind' combination.
