Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1695596

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

Attachment: TB_UPDATE_CHAOS.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:96.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/96.0

Steps to reproduce:

Since an update in past TB shows an update message but my version told me that i got the latest beta - see sceenshot.

Yesterday i do the update and load the complete install from mozilla, using the
link in the update window.
But this link is not a link to a beta it is linking to a normal release version...

Actual results:

This installed badly a wrong version (91.4.0) and i was ask at fist TB startup to setup a new account and my old identity and accounts cant be used anymore!?

What a f*** - i thought - but i stop this save all my data TB Path in local and
roaming (size for my business in last 10 years about 40Gb!) and uninstall the
wrong update.
Reload the last beta and after install all is working as aspected - puh...

Expected results:

The updater works wrong and there was no update for my beta - only for the normal release version update to 91.4.0. thats an issue that can go probably very wrong for beta users...

Odd. I don't see anything wrong in the screen shot.

hmm...
Latest version shown in Info-Window - true!

But that "Can not update" Window wants to update manually again and again and
again and If you do so - you linked to a download to a non beta channel version.

My version is a beta as you can see...
