I just found out today that the archive folder (found in the profile) is also created in Thunderbird and is filled with data.
Blog readers had contributed measures how to prevent the reporting. Some time ago you had raised the issue of data reporting in Firefox. wrote that this is also the case with Thunderbird. In the following text he refers to my blog post Does Firefox 89/90 pull data again? in which I discuss the topic telemetry and user data extinction by Firefox. contacted me by email on and pointed out that Thunderbird also used data reporting (telemetry). Maybe keep in mind to disable JavaScript after the change in Thunderbird 91.x.
With the PDF function is activated in Thunderbird at the same time JavaScript for the documents, which has actually not been the case within e-mails so far for security reasons and in the mode "text only" can certainly not be desirable.īoth PDF scripting ( pdfjs.enableScritping = false) and the PDF reader ( pdfjs.disabled = true) can be disabled via the Config Editor.
German blog reader Patrick already contacted me on Septemand pointed out a change that occurs when upgrading from Thunderbird 78.x to version 91.x.Īs was already to be expected, the update of Thunderbird to version 91, which has now started, also makes the new, integrated JavaScript reader available within the application. Thunderbird 78: Update to 91 enables JavaScript via PDF reader! In the last days and weeks I have received various information about Thunderbird from blog readers, which I would like to include in this article and post on the blog. But both and Bleeping Computer reported a few days ago that the change to version 91 is done via update – probably runs in waves. I myself am still on version 78.x and an update search does not yet offer Thunderbird 91 after. So far, Thunderbird 78.x users have not been upgraded to version 91 when checking for updates. Currently we are at Thunderbird 78.14.0 (see Thunderbird 78.14.0), but there is already the Thunderbird 91 development branch (see Thunderbird 91.2.0).Īt Bleeping Computer I found the following: As of October 5, 2021, 85% of Thunderbird users were using client version 78, and only 9% had manually upgraded to 91. The development branch 78 of Thunderbird will end soon – because with Thunderbird 78.15.0 the development ends (Tom pointed it out here).
Migration from 78.x to Thunderbird 91 starts soon
