Welcome to Daily

Congratulations! You’ve downloaded or compiled a Daily build of Thunderbird. These are the builds that contain the latest additions and changes to Thunderbird.

Earlybird is the place where we stabilise our features before pushing them to our beta users. Experience the newest innovations as they’re developed. I have no Idea where it came from and I don't have the knowledge to do developement work. How do I ensure that I only have the stable version on my computer?

I would not worry about this. I'm also on a release channel and can see the same thing as you.
