Thunderbird 38 doesn't seem to read autoconfig files on OSX
Hello,
I'm trying to migrate our users from TB31 to TB38. In version 31, I was using auto-configuration in my deployment. It worked great but now it doesn't work. When I open the config editor, I don't see key "general.config.filename " or any keys starting by "autoconfig.". On my web server, I don't see any request coming from the client.
Note that this still work with TB38 on Windows. The problem is only with OSX clients.
Is it a known bug ?
This is my config files:
--- Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/defaults/pref/autoconfig.js
// Load config file.
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "thunderbird.cfg");
--- End file
--- Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird.cfg
// Autoconfig
var env_user = "";
if(getenv("USER") != "")
{
env_user = getenv("USER");
}
else
{
env_user = getenv("USERNAME");
}
var mail = "";
if (env_user!="")
{
mail = env_user + '@domain.tld';
}
lockPref("mail.identity.useremail", mail);
lockPref("autoadmin.append_emailaddr", true);
lockPref("autoadmin.global_config_url", "https://mozilla-autoconfig.domain.tld/thunderbird.php");
lockPref("autoadmin.failover_to_cached", true);
lockPref("autoadmin.offline_failover", true);
--- End file

Bump.
Nobody have the problem or nobody use that feature? Should I open a bug report?
