Steps to reproduce:
There are not steps to reproduce the issue.
Actual results:
Recently I've installed the 68.2.2 x64 bit version of thunderbird and once per day TB shows a new icon before the "Switch to the calendar tab" icon/button with a pop up message stating that a new version is available. Clicking on it, brings me to the download web page for the latest release that I've already have.
Indeed, to check if a really new version is available I click on Help > About Thunderbird and it says I've already the latest.
Expected results:
I guess the pop up message and the icon shouldn't be shown.
Forward the question to the developers

Plase have a look: Imgur
"You are currently on the release update channnel"
Thanks.
P.S. I didn't notice it. I wrote my comments directly on the bug tracker. Let me know if I have to do that on the TB Forum/community first or only.

Before writing my post I checked if there was already filed a similar bug but I couldn't find it.
Anyway, thanks.

No problem. Any idea which circumstances cause this. I'm on 68.2.2 myself and all is well.

Have no idea. It showed up with this 68.2.2. x64. I haven't had that popup msg on previous versions.
I just hibernate my pc and the day after it shows it up again.
Note: there was a link (Learn more) on that pop up message I clicked once and it brought me on a web page with all TB releases, including the last one 68.2.2.
I haven't looked for details because it's not a blocking issue for me, but if it could help you all I'm a software engineer.
Thanks again
