Thunderbird updater does not work with any version, including after complete reinstall

Regardless of what version and CPU architecture of Thunderbird is installed, the auto updater keeps telling me that it cannot update Thunderbird and suggests that I visit Thunderbird's website to download the latest version.

Searches related to this problem all either involve Avast antivirus, which I am not using (I use F-Secure TOTAL) or very obsolete versions. To the best of my knowledge, I do not have any specific website blocked in my network, apart from Facebook, and despite searching, I cannot find out any debug options to determine the cause of the update failure.

I have tried uninstalling the product and reinstalling it, also changing between 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Currently running 78.9.1 64-bit under Windows in the Release channel.

Either something is indeed blocking updates, or app.update.url preference is not correctly set. It should be https://aus.thunderbird.net/update/6/%PRODUCT%/%VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/%OS_VERSION%/%SYSTEM_CAPABILITIES%/%DISTRIBUTION%/%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION%/update.xml

Another thing to look at - check preferences > show update history

more options

Thank you. app.update.url is exactly as you posted, and Show Update History shows only up to 78.7.0, installed on Jan 29. However, the version installed is, indeed, 78.9.1.

Firefox has no problem navigating to https://aus5.mozilla.org/update/6/ https://aus5.mozilla.org/update/6/ (I get "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."), so the URL itself is not blocked.

Is there a way to actually debug what is happening here?

Another bit: clicking Check for Updates gives me the result Thunderbird is up to date. However, leaving Thunderbird running for some time (don't know if it's 15 minutes or 1 hour) will invariably produce a green arrow at about the top right-hand corner of the application window and/or a complaint about the inability to download updates.

Thank you. I don't know what parts are more relevant than others but I do know that if I expand all the exceptions, I will run out of the space allocated for the response here. So, I have collapsed all exceptions.

I can see that the update URL that the updater ends up trying is "https://aus.thunderbird.net/update/6/Thunderbird/78.9.1/20210406220621/WINNT_x86_64-msvc-x64/en-US/release/Windows_NT%2010.0.0.0.19042.928%20(x64)/ISET:SSE4_2,MEM:65473/default/default/update.xml?force=1" and I can see, when navigating to that with Firefox, that it will not return any XML file. I do not know why it is important to pass information about the instruction set or the amount of memory in the request, but I can see that they are in the request.

EDIT: I know that the application is installed in the Program Files (x86) folder but it really is the 64-bit build. Why it is in the x86 folder, I do not know.

Thank you. My response vaporized into thin air. Attempt #3.

If all exceptions are expanded, the response will not fit in my allotted quota. The installation folder is x86 but the build is 64-bit. I don't know why that folder was chosen. The updater seems to come up with the URL https://aus.thunderbird.net/update/6/Thunderbird/78.9.1/20210406220621/WINNT_x86_64-msvc-x64/en-US/release/Windows_NT%2010.0.0.0.19042.928%20(x64)/ISET:SSE4_2,MEM:65473/default/default/update.xml?force=1, and when I navigate to that URL with Firefox, I get no XML file. I do not know why it is important to pass information about the supported instruction sets or amount of memory in the URL but I can see that they are there.

Well that is a long way to get to exactly the answer folks have been getting for probably 5 years. Your anti-virus is messing with the connection.

I do not use f-secure, But these instructions are for Firefox and as Firefox and Thunderbird use exactly the same security model anything that has to be imported into Firefox also has to be imported into Thunderbird.

If you go to the options/Preferences and search for certificate you will see a manage certificates button that opens the certificate manager.

Note if update does not work, search for addons should not work in the addon manager either as both make HTTPS queries to a web server and display the resulting page in the application.

more options

Thank you. Searching for add-ons does work. There are absolutely no problems getting results with the word attachment, for instance.

I do not use F-Secure's Threatshield feature. F-Secure's log of blocked websites contains no entries whatsoever related to Thunderbird or thunderbird.net. F-Secure's application control has nothing relevant for Thunderbird.

I do not use any solution that decrypts encrypted traffic at points other than the intended ones, using a certificate-in-the-middle approach (or any other approach, for that matter).

The instructions that you kindly linked are for an F-Secure business product, and I am using a consumer product. Do you have another idea? I would be very grateful for any.

more options

New information: update checking will fail with the white arrow on green background only if IPv6 is disabled for the network adapter in use. If IPv6 is enabled, the white arrow on green background will not appear. New information 2: F-Secure's ThreatShield (referred to in a suggested solution above) does not apply to this case in any manner. It is a product installed in a Linux gateway and works by inspecting SSL traffic and requires a dedicated certificate to be installed. F-Secure TOTAL (including Anti-Virus) does not do this.

more options

Is there a way of getting a relevant response to this case? It applies also with Thunderbird 91.

more options

TEST 1 F-Secure TOTAL apparently has a VPN Switch off the VPN and then retry updating in Thunderbird. This will indicate whether the VPN is causing the issue.

If still problem TEST 2 Exit Thunderbird Restart Computer in 'Safe Mode with Networking' Start Thunderbird Try update

Please report back on results.

more options

Thank you for the response. I am not using the VPN part, which, in F-Secure Terms is called Freedome. I am not using any other VPN solution, either. I will now restart the computer in safe mode with networking and see what happens, including posting relevant error logs.

Updater fails in safe mode with networking, as well. Note that despite the text in the log about certificate errors, Firefox has absolutely no problem navigating to exactly the same page as the one that Thunderbird fails with. No VPN, no security software meddling in the middle. Log:

Click the link you posted to the aus.thunderbird.net website.

In the Firefox browser window click the padlock beside the URL. and then the > beside connection secure. Who is shown as verifying that state?

I note that the link automatically redirects to a Mozilla server, so don't take any notice of that part at this point, only who certifies the link.
