Recently we've began installing Firefox 140.2.0esr to our environment via the .msi file that Mozilla provides, however we're running in to a very odd incident.

After approximately 24 hours from installing Firefox esr to devices, it appears that the application is "updating" to 141.0.3 on the "release" channel. As far as I'm aware, this shouldn't be possible to begin with. But we've applied these settings via GPO:

Computer Config > Policies > Admin Templates > Mozilla > Firefox Application Autoupdate = Disabled Pin updates to a specific version = Enabled = Set to 140.2.0 Background updater = Disabled Disable Update = Enabled Manual Update Only = Enabled

After applying the GPO, confirmed this appears within the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\ AppAutoUpdate = 0 AppUpdatePin = 140.2.0 BackgroundAppUpdate = 0 DisableAppUpdate = 1 ManualAppUpdateOnly = 1

At this point, I'm at a loss. We cannot have rapid release be what's installed in our environment. Is there something broken with 140.2.0 or are we doing something wrong here?

I updated to Thunderbird 115.18.0 which is apparently the latest that will run on my Mid 2011 iMac with MacOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra). I updated following the link(s) in the About Thunderbird drop down

However, the Menu Bar is in a foreign language (see image) and I can't find where to fix it. It looks like the wrong update file was grabbed so I need to find a download for Thunderbird 115.18.0 in English for an Intel iMac and High Sierra.

Since updating to 141.0 64 bit today (Jul 22, 2025) my addon Filtaquilla is disabled.

I tried another attachment saver and the same thing happened. Okay, I'll revert back to previous version.

Can't do that without starting a new profile.

Sure glad I donated to Thunderbird last night.

Progressive rollouts for release features

The latest Firefox release (141) on Android introduced a couple of new features marked as "progressive rollout", e.g. the ability to protect private tabs via PIN, while the release also brought regular updates, e.g. security fixes.

Does someone know how a progressive rollout of such a feature works technically for the userbase? How can a release be rolled out, but some of its features be kept back while other changes apply to all?

For example, the ability to set a PIN for private tabs is a local user preference configuration. The user may or may not have a user sync profile. How is it possible to rollout the feature progressively on the same release channel? Or does the progressive rollout imply the first group of users receive the feature with consecutive minor releases, e.g. release 141.1, the next group with 141.2, etc?

Your latest request for donations has evidently come with a forced upgrade which I did not authorise. I have been happily using an older version of TB because it supports my add-ons and themes. Now because of your uninvited intrusion they no longer work. Furthermore it seems that I can no longer download an older version that supports my requirements. NOT HAPPY!

Hi

My version of Thunderbird has just been updated automatically to 140.Oesr (32-bit)

I now cannot enter hyperlinks (Ctrl K) into emails.

The text appears in the email but it is not underlined.

I have also sent the emails to myself and the hyperlink is still not clickable in the received email.

I was able to enter hyperlinks in the previous version of Thunderbird.

I hope you have a solution because I use this facility frequently.

Thank you.

Brian
