I get a pop-up telling me TB 31.6 is available, with a link to the release notes: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/31.6.0/releasenotes/

The release notes contain a link to the Download page: https://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/ But when I click on it, it takes me to this page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ and its download link is to 31.5: https://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/download/?product=thunderbird-31.5.0&os=osx&lang=en-US

Now, I'm a sophisticated user, and know how to copy a link into the locator bar and edit it, so I change the 5 to a 6 and get the 31.6 package. But your less-sophisticated user is going to be unpleasantly surprised.

I'm on a Mac running 10.9.5.

Thank you. I had a similar experience myself.

I don't usually use that link; here in Linux my experience is that it either gets me a 32-bit edition (I need the 64-bit build), or runs afoul of the elevated privileges needed to update or install the program, so I generally go direct to the ftp download site:

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/

(I've assumed all this happens for me because I choose to download from the mozilla site rather than accept what is offered via the linux repositories.)

Thanks. I think they fixed it; today the download link at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ is to 31.6: https://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/download/?product=thunderbird-31.6.0&os=osx&lang=en-US
