First, it's much slower to open & start. Then it shows the Local Folders overview screen vs. going direct to my Inbox (takes often 5 seconds now, when it was instant before). The "Get All New Messages" has never worked (I think related to checking internet for calendar files), but now when I select to manually check mail on one of my two accounts, it often does not actually do that. Often that menu disappears. And in general, things are MUCH slower than they were on 60.9.0. I had to quit using Firefox browser due to the releases continually introducing too many "new" problems, please don't make this also the case with Thunderbird ! So, please let there be a way to go back to 60.9.0, otherwise I will be very annoyed at this software all day long, every day, and hoping the development team figures out their mistakes and has a new release to fix this one.

Hm, according to the release notes there's nothing new other than a fix for gmail oauth2 and I doubt it'd make TB slower. I would invite you to investiguate a bit more the source of the problem instead of downgrading because using old versions of Thunderbird poses a significant security risk.

So, please let there be a way to go back to 60.9.0

However, if you still want to downgrade Make sure to backup your profile before doing so. Next, Go to the following URL: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/60.9.0/ and search for your platform and language. After the install, you'll need to deactivate the automatic upgrade to prevent Thunderbird to reinstall 60.9.1. 'You might also need to use the `--allow-downgrade` flag.

This is exacly correct - there was only one change. This would not have caused the issues you describe. However, other software like antivirus could.

68.3.0 is now available via updates. Perhaps a better choice than going back to something older
