Thunderbird just updated to 78.2.2 and with the update came a privacy notice tab.
This tab is an exact display of https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/thunderbird/ including the mozilla.org page header that offers much in regard to Firefox and Nothing about Thunderbird. I suggest the relevant link be moved to thunderbird.net so the in-app message is at least the same branding as we are using elsewhere. Even if the URL used is not is only accessible from within the application.

NI'ing Sancus. Is there any clever way that we can mirror the content on a page on the Thunderbird website? If it isn't too much work to ensure it is up-to-date on our website without having to manually update it as well, I say we do it. Otherwise, it will end up out-of-date.
The perk to having it on our site is someone could potentially go from reading the policy to downloading the app, donating, or interacting with the community in some way.
I think this issue is far more than I originally reported. The links associated with more information for end to end encryption and rmoe content on messages now open in Thunderbird and also display the mozilla hader offering a firefox download and nothing at all about Thunderbird. I think this stuff is really a major regression. Back to Mozilla Thunderbird.

We can probably do something, yeah, though we'll need to make sure with Legal that it's OK to publish this page on the thunderbird.net domain. It's just a markdown file. The page will look different as we can't use their styles, they won't fit with the rest of the site. Just the text will be the same. It will also add a dependency of pulling the Mozilla legal github to the site build, but that's not the end of the world.
Not sure what the urgency is, though, considering the privacy policy has always been hosted on mozilla.org and linked from within Thunderbird. Perhaps it is more prominent due to the update, but that doesn't really change anything fundamentally. This document exists for reference, nobody is downloading Thunderbird from it or anything like that.
