Fixed:
- Invitations to events could not be printed.
- Dragging and dropping of contacts from the contact list onto an addressbook while All Addressbooks is selected moved only one contact
- Falsely reported not enough disk space during compacting
- Links were not always detected properly in the message body (terminated early on "|", some long links not detected at all)
Installation instructions:
Mozilla does not provide a repository for Thunderbird, but the installation steps are quite easy anyway and should not create difficulties on any Linux distribution.
The latest versions of Thunderbird are available as pre-compiled libraries via the Mozilla FTP, so we need to download the archive (i386 or i686 for 32 bit systems and amd64 or x86_64 for 64 bit systems), extract it and run the thunderbird file. Also, it is advised to remove previous versions of Thundebird, move Thunderbird to /opt and create a symlink, for an easier usage.
How to install Thunderbird on 32 bit Linux systems:
Open terminal and insert command line...
| $ wget https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/45.2.0/linux-i686/en-US/thunderbird-45.2.0.tar.bz2 $ tar -xjvf thunderbird*.tar.bz2 $ sudo rm -rf /opt/thunderbird* $ sudo mv thunderbird /opt/thunderbird $ sudo ln -sf /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird /usr/bin/thunderbird |
How to install Thunderbird on 64 bit Linux systems:
| $ wget https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/45.2.0/linux-x86_64/en-US/thunderbird-45.2.0.tar.bz2 $ tar -xjvf thunderbird*.tar.bz2 $ sudo rm -rf /opt/thunderbird* $ sudo mv thunderbird /opt/thunderbird $ sudo ln -sf /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird /usr/bin/thunderbird |
To start Thunderbird, just open a terminal, type thunderbird and hit enter.
| $ sudo thunderbird |
