H, Mike.
You are perfectly right in taking the time it takes in order to be on the safe side. - And I am not trying to push anyone. Would not be in the position to do so anyway. :wink:

Oh dang... hope you can get it managed by putting back the .thunderbird folder after reverting to the old version.

That's why I don't use anything from the testing repo. I hope you're able to fix it.

OK. this is weird ... according to my update history ... no thunderbird update took place... and I am NOT on the test repos either...


Its like the machine decided to USE 78 and not 68 .. (I had both loaded on this machine, but have been using 68 for months and months....

Something in yesterdays update caused the wrong one to launch as 'email client default' ?

- Nope ,DEFINITELY Thunderbird updated on 10/28 , but my mxlinux update history doesnt show any update for firefox. (infact - NO update on 10/28 for mxl )

what do you mean you're not in the test repos? Flatpak?

No. This machine is purely on the regular repos. I had downloaded Thunderbird 7x from the mozilla site back in April ? and tried it, then backed out as too much was broken. So, I had 68 running and linked as my default etc.

However, 7x was installed here. Not sure how, but it seems like something switched the default from 68 to 78 and then it updated via the TB updater when I launched it.

Debian Buster updated to 78, but I thought we had added an extra epoch to the MX versions so they would still be seen as higher...
