Cars analogies don't go far this time. If a mirror breaks, I replace it with another mirror, but my car never changes its features overnight. My Thunderbird updated to version 115 yesterday. I fiddled with settings to bring it back to as close as possible to its previous UI but I could do nothing about the incompatibility with an addon that lets decide how to order folders and subfolders [1] As a partial workaround I started using favorites but overall v 115 is broken and can't be repaired easily. My car is still doing what it was doing last week. [1] https://github.com/protz/Manually-Sort-Folders/issues/199 https://github.com/protz/Manually-Sort-Folders/issues/199

>> "but my car never changes its features overnight." It's been a long time since I've had a new car, but from the sound of it, cars with stable feature sets are on the way toward history. Everything is fly-by-wire now, and features are increasingly implemented through software exposed through a touch screen.

  This is because software is creeping inside the cars. It is not because cars have an inherently changeable feature set.

    They do increasingly have an inherently changeable feature set. That's the point.

Does the previous version no longer run? Can it not still be installed?

  Probably, but I'm afraid it will break when it gets too distant from the system libraries. It's not that I need new features, I could probably use Thunderbird from 20 years ago and notice only because of the look of the UI.
