Good afternoon. I'm looking for information to create a local update server in my corporation so that PCs can update without connecting to the Internet, but I can't find much information to be able to do it with versions 91. I have found a policy to edit a url for the local server, but the problem is creating the structure of that server. Let's see who can help me. Thank you.

A good place to look for support with these sorts of enterprise features is the enterprise topicbox list. https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/enterprise

Good afternoon: I finally got it by using a GPO with the following registry values: "AppUpdateURL"

Example:

HKLM\Software\Policies\Mozilla\Thunderbird\ AppUpdateURL="https://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/update.xml"

And the following configuration in the "update.xml" file:

<updates> <update type="minor" displayVersion="78.14.0" appVersion="78.14.0" buildID="20210901192859"> 

       <patch type="complete" URL="http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/repository/thunderbird/78.14.0/thunderbird-78.14.0.complete.mar" size="55517582"/>
   </update>

<update type="major" displayVersion="91.6.1" appVersion="91.6.1" buildID="20220214162907"> 

       <patch type="complete" URL="http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/repository/thunderbird/91.6.1/thunderbird-91.6.1.complete.mar" size="61008418"/>
   </update>

</updates>

To update the PCs in my organization that have version 68.12.1 of Thunderbird and be able to migrate first to version 78.14 and later to version 91.6.1.

Now I have the problem that I can't find information to create a server for the extensions because most of them are not compatible from one version of thunderbid to the next as in the previous case (68.12.1 -> 78.14 -> 91.6.1) .
