Re: Thunderbird 78.2.2 unusable in 2020Q3
Hi,

I have built a 78.3.0, and the bug disappeared and it works well for me.
However 78.3.0 is not considered to be a very good version, quote on the

"Frequent crashes were reported after updating to Thunderbird 78.3.0.
Thunderbird 78.3.1 is now available with a fix."
Thank you for addressing this issue. I noticed it exactly this weekend,
too. I had decided to apply this patch:
https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/comm-esr78/rev/f085dbd311bc
This is referenced in the corresponding bug report:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1664607
Neverthenless, what is the policy for bug fixes / security fixes for the
quarterly releases? Of course I have no illusions - maintaining multiple
parallel branches is labor intensive and so probably not affordable by
the NetBSD team. However, assuming that someone can be found who finds
this problem is serious enough to spent some time on, would they apply
the aforementioned patch or move directly to the newer Thunderbird where
the problem was also fixed?
Kind regards
Matthias
