You may have noticed that platform, NSIS, and PA.c Installer releases have been adding languages at a fast pace lately. The platform now supports 80 locales (all complete translations) and the installer and NSIS support 86. I've been working to improve the worldwide availability of our work as much as possible. To that end, I'm looking at increasing the number of languages supported by Firefox and Thunderbird. Unfortunately, build times are quite long.

Hi,

I using Windows (11) and I have an issue my apps cannot be launched from a single panel launcher. I have some apps installed in Windows and some portable apps opensource and not opensource as well. As a result, you never know if you have to access them:
a/ from the Windows button
b/ or from a portable launcher.

Thunderbird Portable or is it?

My PC died so I transferred the backup drive to another system. But when I tried to run Thunderbird Portable (TBP) it told me to go f**k myself. Well it didn't say so literally and I can't recreate the issue with error as now if I try to open the backup it just refuses to open at all. It does show up in Task Manager for a bit but then just disappears.
