But I don't consider this as a Debian bug because if you use Debian packages all works as intended. I'm puzzeld, why do you want to download an external package if all needed packages are available within Debian? Why do you not simply install the package 'thunderbird-l10n-sv-se'? One of the reasons for all the l10n packages is that quite often systems are used by users with different needed environment languages, installing the needed l10n packages and selecting the required locale by the user is enough to get an UI which is also localized into the same language as the desktop environment which is used. > I tried with Thunderbid + lightnig build installed from > https://thunderbird.net which works as it should. Mozilla is providing various pre-compiled localized versions of Thunderbird for Linux. Which ones you have used here? The version with included l10n strings for Swedish works of course as expected. If I try to use the en-US version as base I'm unable to even add another l10n language pack! And this (somehow) possible way is not really supported by Mozilla since the release of the previous ESR version 60.x. User which need a Thunderbird UI with an Sewdish UI need to download and use the prepared Swedish version. This all is completely outside of the focus from packaging Thunderbird for Debian. Your subject war misleading and let me guessing there is a issue with the packaged Swedish l10n package for Thunderbird. But this isn't the case. > I cannot deactivate all add-ons because I can't get to the Thunderbird > Preferences because of this bug.
