what do I put in the terminal to remove installed t’bird above; then, what do I put in the terminal to install the v78?
Sorry about the basic stuff, but I just can’t work out where the underscores and hyphens go to get a working command despite using the insidious search engine for the past hour or so… (I also can’t understand why it doesn’t list in a form that usable, but I guess that’s just me.)

(I’d been trying to configure 1:78.14.0-1~deb11u1pureos1 to something meaningful…)
too, though.
And, please note that byzantium/security has a thunderbird from the 91 series, which probably has security fixes that isn’t in the 78 one, so you use the 78 series on your own risk (but you probably know that already).
Thanks, that’s good to know too. I don’t know what v91’s done to me but it’s not good and any bug fixes are going to have to be suppressed for the need to use email…
