Thunderbird 137.0 and 128.9.0 ESR with up to 7 security fixes and many changes

Mozilla has updated Thunderbird, just like Firefox, to version 137.0 (monthly release) and 128.9.0 ESR. In addition to the security fixes, Thunderbird 128.9.0 ESR includes a new feature: a real-time notification system for desktop alerts.



First, let me point out that Mozilla will soon be offering some new features as Thunderbird Pro for a fee. This does not affect Thunderbird and its features. The Pro features include Thundermail as an email service, Thunderbird Send for sharing data, and Thunderbird Assist for using AI. You can read the whys and wherefores here.

A total of seven security vulnerabilities were fixed. Three of them were rated "high." Since the release notes for the 128.9.0 ESR are shorter, we'll start with those.

  • Fixed data corruption when compressing the IMAP Drafts folder after saving a message
  • Right-clicking on an attachment file and selecting “Decrypt and save as…” failed.
  • Thunderbird could crash when importing emails
  • Sorting indicators were missing in the list of calendar events.
  • Security fixes
