preference fails to open in Thunderbird ( Mac version )

[giveflow]

When I try to open preference in the extension of Thunderbird, there will be an extra window popping out and showing "Click the 'ok' button to open the Markdown Here Options tab".

However the ok button is not shown in this window. I captured this screen and put in the attachment below.

The alternative solution I can find online is related to Options page doesn't appear in Firefox #369, by manually opening the error console of Thunderbird by [cmd+shift+j] and pasting

Components.classes['@mozilla.org/appshell/window-mediator;1'].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowMediator).getMostRecentWindow('mail:3pane').document.getElementById('tabmail').openTab('contentTab', {contentPage: 'resource://markdown_here_common/options.html'})

into the eval field and pressing [enter] to open the preference setting of Markdown Here.

Will there be any better solution to sort out this bug in this extension in Mac version?

I'm getting a similar issue on GNU/Linux, specifically where no OK button is rendered. However, if I press return on this dialog, I seem to be taken to the preferences menu anyway.

I can provide more info on request. :)

I cannot open the preferences too on Thunderbird : Ubuntu 16.04, Thunderbird 52.3, Markdown Here 2.13.2.
But I have another error, maybe linked to the others:

Translated in english:

XML analysis error: entity not defined
Location: chrome://markdown_here/content/options.xul
Line 6, column 1:
<prefwindow id="markdown-here-options-intermediate"
^

Pasting the code in the console like described in the alternative solution also works for me.

I'm having the same problem. Thunderbird 52.3.0 for Mac
There's no 'OK' button anywher to be seen or clicked. (pressing enter does not work either)
this used to work until a few months ago...

Same issue on 52.3.0 on Arch Linux :) Just pressing Enter in the open window does get me to the options pane, as mentinoed in #447 (comment). Anything I can do to help?

Same issue in TB 52.4.0 and MDH 2.13.2 (current as of 2017-10-18?) on macOS 10.11.6.

Confirm that @giveflow's work around opens the tab.

Same on Windows 10

@obillard Windows 10 here with Thunderbird 52.4.0-32bit. I can confirm,

No workaround for this? I've hit this issue with windows 10.

I have the same problem
ThunderBird: 52.8.0
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/52.8.0
Markdown here: 2.13.2

I also confirmed that the following code displays the preferences correctly

Components.classes['@mozilla.org/appshell/window-mediator;1'].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowMediator).getMostRecentWindow('mail:3pane').document.getElementById('tabmail').openTab('contentTab', {contentPage: 'resource://markdown_here_common/options.html'})
