Thunderbird Update
I am currently running Thunderbird 137.0.2 (64-bit) and I don't get an automatic prompt for updates and haven't been getting them since I updated to Supernova and now Nebula.
I have the settings set to Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them, which is the setting I have always had and I used to get automatic prompts for updates with a window opening to show the details of the update as I get in Firefox.
Can someone tell me how to get these automatic updates back.
I have attached a screenshot of the update window.
Thanks.

If you change the setting to not offer the prompt, do you get the notice?
What is your OS?

I don't see a setting to not offer the prompt!
Windows 10
I get the prompt, but only when I click help>about. Is there another one?

You're getting the same problem as me because Thunderbird always gave an automated prompt just as Firefox does, without having to click help>about, until we upgraded to the newer versions when the automated prompting disappeared!

The second option, currently enabled, should give a prompt. The first option, should not give you a choice.

That's what I thought as I have always got this send option enabled in Firefox and Thunderbird but it's only Thunderbird that doesn't give a prompt!
Does anyone know if this is a bug that has been reported on Bugzilla?
Dave,
If you are still having problems when using a newer version, please post a new question and we'll take a new look at it.
