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?

I always install Thunderbird updates that include security fixes, but occasionally defer/refuse updates that don't seem applicable to my install. If I wait until the next update, will the missed update also be installed (ie, cumulative or rollup)? I quickly looked through FAQs and developers site but nothing jumped out. I currently have v140.0 installed. Thanks.

Hello,

After updating Mozilla Thunderbird to the latest version, I’ve encountered two significant issues across multiple computers running Windows 11 PRO:

• Missing unread message indicator – Upon receiving new messages, there is no red marker showing on the Thunderbird icon in the taskbar. This makes it difficult to quickly identify unread emails without opening the application.

• Email links not opening new message window – Clicking on an email address (e.g. in a browser or another program) no longer opens a new message window in Thunderbird, as it used to.

Both issues have been observed on different machines, which suggests they are not caused by specific local configurations.

I’d appreciate it if you could let me know whether solutions for these issues are available or if an update is planned to address them.

Kind regards, Maciek
