On armhf, thunderbird is not available for unknowed raeson,
we dropped building Thunderbird on armhf (and other low popcorn
architectures) a while ago due the lack of time to work on architecture
related issues by releasing Version 1:68.2.1-1. That's now almost 3
years ago. Since then no one single contribution did reach us to get
Thunderbird buildable again.
https://salsa.debian.org/mozilla-team/thunderbird/-/commit/8f89b90f1054645f7f92d985bc747410123c38c2
You probably the third person in total asking since then for Thunderbird
on armhf. This is by far to less to starting thinking about the decision
again.
The arm 32bit architecture is basically dead for applications with such
heavy list off build and package dependencies list and is getting "more"
death over time. We won't add the support back.
BTW: The severity grave is totally wrong for such a bug report.
