Hi, great news and thanks for your huge work !
Will you, like for Firefox Nightly, propose a ppa and continue to provide an updated deb package, for all users who don't want to use snaps in Ubuntu (as default will become the snap in next version) ?
@valeryan24 @thunderbird We plan to eventually provide our own deb but in the meantime, if you do not want to use snap, you can use our official flatpak:

Hi, thanks for your answer, I will check that !
I don't use flatpak either, only official or ppa deb packages, it's easier and more homogenous for updates.
For the moment there is a ppa, but I don't know if it will continue and Ubuntu already switched to snap :
