I use Dropbox to keep files synchronized between my Windows 11 (right now running Thunderbird 115.5.1 64-bit) and Debian Linux 12 (running Thunderbird 115.5.0 64-bit).

It appears that there is some incompatibility between the Profile structure in these two versions of Thunderbird. I conclude that I need a strategy for keeping versions the same on the two machines.

Are there web pages containing installation files (Windows and Linux) for all the recent versions of Thunderbird? For example right now I would like to find 115.5.1 64-bit to upgrade the Linux version.

TIA- Phil

Not a great idea sharing profiles. Not a great idea using dropbox.
