Mozilla Thunderbird 128 ESR Is Now Available for Download, Here’s What’s New
Probably the biggest highlight of Mozilla Thunderbird 128 (codename Nebula) is ESR (Extended Support Release) support, which means that the Thunderbird 128 branch will receive updates for at least a couple of years. This means that GNU/Linux distros that rely on the ESR branch will finally be able to upgrade, such as Debian.
KDE Frameworks 6.4 also improves Breeze folder icons to no longer turn all white or all black when selected in various contexts when using a custom accent color, implements Breeze styling for movable splitters in QML apps, which leads to resizable sidebars in places where you’d expect for sidebars to be resizable, adds a generic translate icon, adds non-symbolic base version of network-wireless-bluetooth icons, and adds support for the newly introduced ColorScheme-Accent.

Thunderbird 128 Released With Major Changes - OMG! Ubuntu
Thunderbird 128 ‘Nebula’ builds on last year’s stellar Thunderbird 115 release with a flurry of new features, major code improvements, and bug fixes.

Support period aside, you’ll find plenty of tangible changes on offer in Thunderbird 128, so preamble done let’s get to gawking at ’em…
