Since Thunderbird is a significant downstream consumer of the Gecko platform, which is itself influenced by Firefox's plans with respect to security & maintenance policies in particular, a large portion of the Thunderbird's own ESR proposal will be derived from Firefox ESR proposal. However, while sharing technology, Thunderbird is a distinct product which is exposed to different distinct security and market environments, and we don't want to assume that the discussions which have focused on Firefox necessarily apply as-is to Thunderbird.
We intend to conclude on this subject within two weeks from in order to be able to implement it from Thunderbird 8 or 9. Once offer Thunderbird ESR 1.0 at the same time that Thunderbird 8 or 9 is released, . Thunderbird 3.1 will be declared end-of-life12 weeks after the release of Thunderbird ESR 1.0.
We would like to encourage Thunderbird users to read the Firefox proposal, discuss its relevance for Thunderbird and express the differences that may apply.
