[Bug 934711] [NEW] Google Plus (Google+) stopped working within Thunderbird after upgrade to 10.0.2 (10.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.1)

[Doug Morse]

Public bug reported:

Today, Feb. 17, 2012, running apt-get upgrade caused my version of
Thunderbird to upgrade to version 10.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.1.

Everything seems to be working fine, with one notable exception:
Visiting Google Plus within Thunderbird now no longer works, whereas it
had been working fine for well over a year now.  Specifically, all the
tabs I bring up in Thunderbird continue to work fine, and the Google
Plus tab appears to start to load the site, but the tab is always blank
(see attached screenshot, last image in the montage).

Running Thunderbird in safe mode (i.e., "thunderbird -safe-mode") at the
command line does not correct the problem: Again, all my tabs are
restored, but the Google Plus tab is always blank.

I use Thunderbird as an integrated communication tool, having email,
calendar, Google Voice, Google Reader, Facebook, and Google+ tabs open
at all times.  So, I'm motivate to help do whatever I can to see this
issue resolved, whether that be trying things out technically,
contacting Mozilla, contacting Google, etc.

Thanks as always.
