Will Thunderbird Chat complete support for XMPP (need SRV) ?

After trying to connect to my XMPP server I noticed that Thunderbird does not try to resolve the proper DNS records for XMPP, instead it seems to try to connect to the A record for the domain name.

This makes the Chat part useless unless the user does the DNS queries themselves.

I'm a bit surprised this question has not been asked before, if I have missed a page that addresses this, do let me know.


Cheers

Indeed, it seems this has been around since https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14328 (or is at least very related).

TL;DR there's no solution yet.
