Since this extension is for Thunderbird, you can't install it directly from your browser. Instead, use the download links below to save a copy of the .xpi file first (you need to right-click on the link and select "Save Link"), and then install it in Thunderbird by going to the Tools/Options menu item, selecting the Extensions item, and clicking Install New Extension. A dialog will appear to let you find the copy of the .xpi you saved and once you have, installation will commence.

QuickReply 0.5.5a: Right-click here and select "Save Link" to save installer

Uninstalling

Starting from version 0.4.1, automatic uninstall is available. In Thunderbird go to the Tools/Options menu item, and the Extensions item. Click on the Quick Reply extension line, and click Settings. Go to the Uninstall tab in the Preferences window you're now confronted with, click the button, and follow the instructions.

For versions before 0.4.1, follow the following recipe (at your own risk!):

• Close Thunderbird
• Determine where you've installed - either in your profile, or in the thunderbird program directory. This determines the value of <wherever>.
• Remove the quickreply.jar from <wherever>\thunderbird\chrome
• Remove the following 2 lines in the file <wherever>\thunderbird\chrome\installed-chrome.txt
  

  content,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/quickreply.jar!/content/messenger-quickreply/
  locale,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/quickreply.jar!/locale/en-US/messenger-quickreply/

• Remove the following from the file <wherever>\thunderbird\chrome\chrome.rdf
  

  <RDF:Description about="urn:mozilla:package:messenger-quickreply"
                     c:baseURL="jar:resource:/chrome/quickreply.jar!/content/messenger-quickreply/"
                     c:locType="install"

                     c:extension="true"
                     c:settingsURL="chrome://messenger-quickreply/content/prefQuickReply.xul"
                     c:description="Supplies a quick reply extension for Mozilla Thunderbird." />
    <RDF:Description about="urn:mozilla:locale:en-US:messenger-quickreply"
                     c:localeVersion="1.5a"
                     c:baseURL="jar:resource:/chrome/quickreply.jar!/locale/en-US/messenger-quickreply/">
      <c:package resource="urn:mozilla:package:messenger-quickreply"/>
    </RDF:Description>

• Within this same file, remove the line
  

  <RDF:li resource="urn:mozilla:package:messenger-quickreply"/>

• Also within this file, remove the line
  

  <RDF:li resource="urn:mozilla:locale:en-US:messenger-quickreply"/>

• Now, from the file <wherever>\thunderbird\chrome\overlayinfo\messenger\content\overlays.rdf remove the line
  

  <RDF:li>chrome://messenger-quickreply/content/msgQuickReplyOverlay.xul</RDF:li>

• From this same file, remove the line
  

  <RDF:li>chrome://messenger-quickreply/content/msgQuickReplyMessageWindowOverlay.xul</RDF:li>

• From this same file, remove the line
  

  <RDF:li>chrome://messenger-quickreply/content/msgQuickReplyOverlay.xul</RDF:li>

• That should be it - you're now ready to start Thunderbird again. If it doesn't work, feel free to drop us an email, but don't hold us responsible!
