thunderbird download page for windows 7 shows 404 page error

more options

I use google search engine. Google is blocking my email account and wants personal identifying info to unblock. One solution recommended is to have my mail data transferred elsewhere. I want to use Thunderbird for my mail. On Thunderbird's download page for Windows 7, an error 404 comes up. Where is the download page? Thanks.

Where is the download page?

https://www.thunderbird.net/

Note, the current Thunderbird version (TB128.x) requires Windows 10 or later. https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/128.0esr/system-requirements/

I'm getting 404 too. I need the installer, since I have to do a system restore on an old Windows (and that messes us profiles with an incorrect version)

https://www.thunderbird.net/

The URL above is the site I'm going to. When I hover over the blue "Download" button, the URL shown is https://download.mozilla.org/?product=thunderbird-115.16.0-SSL&os=win64&lang=en-US which would be the correct one for my Win 7 machine.

However, when I select the blue "Download" button to get the update, the screen displays "404 page not found". Hopefully the problem is clear now. If not, feel free to ask more questions.

Got you. Use this link instead. https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/115.16.0esr/win64/en-US/Thunderbird%20Setup%20115.16.0esr.exe

Downloaded and installed without incident. Thanks!

A reason why the link for Thunderbird 115.16.0esr is not working may be because according to https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/planning/T6689f5ad30cc4731 the Tb 115.15.0esr was the last planned update.

Though the Tb 115.16.0esr may have been released due to a specific security fix https://www.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/115.16.0esr/releasenotes/

115.16.0esr IS a security release, and the executable is good.

However, the build system created an incorrect download link - correct link must have "esr" in the string https://download.mozilla.org/?product=thunderbird-115.16.0esr-SSL&os=win64&lang=en-US
