Where is Thunderbird 3.1.2 (many bug & security fixes) ? My synaptic doesn't find that last version (released one week ago) in your repos.... ](*,)

It is frequently desirable to get more timely security updates for Mozilla software, or run the latest version, which may not be available in the repositories, due to the new features and improvements. This is where the Ubuntuzilla repository comes in.

No problem.Works for the Mozilla builds of Firefox and Seamonkey too.

Hi, Thanks for the headsup - 3.1.2 is now in the repos. I'm subscribed to the mozilla releases rss feed... but it's often not updated...

Thank you Norm! I've been going nuts trying to get my 64-bit installation of Seamonkey 2.0.4 to upgrade to 2.0.6 I've added repositories, read the threads at sorceforge, and nothing worked, but the gksudo seamonkey command solved the problem right away. Cheers!

When I run gksudo thunderbird I see only Help contents, Release notes, What's new, Migration assistant and About Thunderbird. That's all. I don't see Check for Updates. What I did wrong? Thunderbird 3.0.6, Ubuntu 10.04.1 x86_64
