Hi, how do I get rid of

"Error: Platform version '143.0.1' is not compatible with minVersion >=141.0 maxVersion <= 141.0 Maybe try to reinstall Thunderbird?"

It's not very practible to do a new copy everytime a Thunderbird Update has to be made because I mainly store my emails in a local copy (respectively a lot of copies already).

could you please help me?

Thx & BR Eva

Try this: see if there is a compatibility.ini file in the profile. If so, delete it, and then start thunderbird

If thunderbird actually starts, try this: help>troubleshoot mode and restart. The error may be from an addon,

Download the installer again from https://www.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/all/ Use the one for the update channel you actually use (Extended Support - ESR, or Release). If your TB version is 143.0.1, you're on the Release update channel. Then close Thunderbird, and run the downloaded installer.
