I have lost the possibility use Finnish dictionary for spell checking after Thunderbird upgrade to version 60.3.1. How could i revert to older version and prevent automatic updates?

Thanks! I installed that new Finnish dictionary 1.1. After restarting Thunderbird i found two Finnish spellcheckers. The old Finnish Voikko 2.1.0 reappeared into dictionary options. I tried both and the old one seems to work much better, because the new one dosn't seem to understand Finnish grammar. It's probably just a word list.

The spell checker in Thunderbird (and Firefox) uses a dictionary for words to spell check with as there is no grammar checker.
