By default, Thunderbird is set to automatically update itself but you can always do a manual update. Here's how:
Note: If you run Linux (such as Ubuntu) and use your Linux distribution's packaged version of Thunderbird, you will need to wait for an updated package to be released to its package repository. See Install Thunderbird on Linux This article only applies if you installed Thunderbird manually (without using your distribution's package manager).
- Go over to the menu and select .On the menu bar click the menu and select .At the top of the Thunderbird window click the menu and select .
- The About Thunderbird window will open and Thunderbird will begin checking for updates and downloading them automatically.
- When the updates are ready to be installed, click .
To change update settings, see Advanced panel - System, network, updates, and other advanced settings in Thunderbird.
Having problems?
Simply download and install the latest version from the Thunderbird website, and Thunderbird will pick up your existing data.
