Do you have Kaspersky? It's known to indicate that updates are available even when TB is up to date.

I haven't seen that myself, but TB has added some new update notifications. If you click the 3-bar icon on the right of your picture, Help/About TB, does it indicate an update is available?

No, Thunderbird is completely up to date

Now the arrow has disappeared. I think you might have nailed it . . . there must have been an update available. I have an app that does the updates automatically so I didn't notice.

Yep Looks like it is telling us that an update is available. Installed the available update, and hte arrow went away.
