Thanks for seeing this through, but let me raise some important points. Why is Thunderbird not covered by the same update policy as Firefox? Sure it's not a web browser, but it's one of the most important and widely used GUI email clients. Also, it is a close cousin of Firefox.
These updates took way too long to come out for LTS releases, and they are/were already obsolete once they did roll out. For example, the 78.9.x and 78.10.x releases are more than a month old at this point, and both contain fixes for "high" severity vulnerabilities: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2021-12/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2021-14/ I think Ubuntu should make a greater effort to keep up with Thunderbird upstream. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1895643 Title: Backport Thunderbird 78 to 20.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS Status in enigmail package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in enigmail source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in jsunit source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in thunderbird source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in enigmail source package in Focal: Fix Released Status in jsunit source package in Focal: Fix Released Status in thunderbird source package in Focal: Fix Released Status in tinyjsd source package in Focal: Fix Released Status in thunderbird source package in Groovy: Fix Released Bug description: Upstream Thunderbird version 78.2.2 should be a candidate for backporting to stable Ubuntu releases. I've successfully built 78.2.1 against both with forcing nodejs version (20.04, 18.04) and disabling AV1 support due to too old nasm (18.04). Attaching debdiffs here.
