How do I revert to previous version of windows 10 Thunderbird?

That page used to have the option to download an older version. It is now missing. I have searched the the Thunderbird site, but I am unable to find any way to download a previous version of Thunderbird. Please advise.
I am also needing an older version. My laptop is inoperable, but the SSD is ok. I can see in the file properties for thunderbird.exe that it's 128.4.0.0, from around Oct. 2024. I have a new (~1.5 year old) laptop and attempted to use a new tb version with a cloud-backed-up profile, without success. TB doesn't "see" the profile, whether I use that or copy the files into the created new profile.
Since I now have access to the SSD with the profile when my old laptop died (hopefully it isn't corrupted), I want to try it with the version that was on that laptop. I have multiple email addresses, as well as a LOT of saved emails in Local. The profile is around 61GB. It's not just a matter of setting up TB so I can do some work. It's really difficult to deal with these gmail addresses with multiple browser windows open.
-I don't know whether the old TB will run if I launch it from the new laptop. -I've spent hours on this and this laptop isn't even set up all the way yet. I can't get things done. If I can't get the profile to work, how can I get the data in the Local folders?
If you reacted to the appeal in Thunderbird which suggested you change to 139, then you saw https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-release/ which also has the instructions for going back to 128.
Before you do that, you might want to try some easy steps, and if they help then some recommendations can be made to help you:
1. If you do not like the cards view display then change to table view.
2. If you are seeing a performance problem or some other issue then

Does problem change?
