ESR vs. Current Version
Greetings! I downloaded Thunderbird for my new Win11 desktop, but it gave me an ESR version 128.9.1. It's working fine, but can i just move to the current 137.0.1 version? If so, how do I do that - just grab the current version and install on top of the ESR or should I remove the ESR first? Thanks in advance!

This might help: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2025/02/thunderbird-desktop-release-channel-default-download/ there are now two versions: the esr will continue and be updated periodically and is recommended for those who need a stable environment with minimal change. the monthly will have the latest features - which will eventually be added to the esr version,. You can still select other versions at https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/all/
