14 DAY TRIAL // Mozilla Thunderbird has just received another update, the second in just a few days, as the parent company is working on refining the experience with the app.
Now at version 60.5.3, Mozilla Thunderbird comes with a fix for Windows clients, though it’s worth knowing that this update is available not only on Microsoft’s operating system, but also on Linux and macOS.
According to the official changelog, this update resolves one of the known issues in the previous version and affecting Windows. Mozilla says it managed to fix the bug experienced when using Send to > Mail recipient in Thunderbird on Windows.
This problem was originally introduced in version 60.5.2, the previous release, and it was included in the known issues section of the changelog.
Two known issues
Like its predecessors, this Thunderbird version comes with its very own known issues, but the two listings that are part of the release notes are also inherited from the previous builds.
For example, Mozilla says that Twitter still isn’t working in Mozilla Thunderbird because of the API changes that the social network made earlier this year. This bug has been there for several versions already, and there’s no ETA as to when it could be fixed by the company.
Additionally, the changelog reveals that “due to changes in the Mozilla platform profiles stored on Windows network shares addressed via drive letters are now addressed via UNC.” Again, this is a known bug that hit the previous updates as well, and a target fix date isn’t available right now.
Despite bringing bug fixes for Windows exclusively, all supported desktop platforms are recommended to update to Mozilla Thunderbird 60.5.3 as soon as possible because other under-the-hood refinements could be included here.
