ok. this is a mess..why is this release so buggy...does anybody know of the following and will they be fixed.

will not remember preferred program to open JPEGS (asks all the time) - i use ACDSee. It is correct under preferences, but just the same, it asks each time.

after i open a few attachments, it stops opening the attachments or letting me download them - i have to restart in order to do so and then after a few more openings, same issue.

Suppose that is three questions, lol....sorry....have used this for forever and this is a mess....no reason to move the attachments window either., i was fine with it where it was...just looking to see if these are being addressed or if i finally have to find another email client.

There are two W64 installers on the downloads page, German (de) and US English (en-US).

This is a known bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1690395

It's apparently fixed in the latest Betterbird:

I don't know why attachments stop downloading. Perhaps there's interference from an antivirus app scanning attachments (the profile folder should always be excluded from AV scanning).
