[SOLVED] Problem updating Mozilla Thunderbird
« on: June 21, 2021, 01:34:14 PM »
Hello, I got a message that Avast Free Antivirus 21.5.2470 (versie 21.5.6354.675) isn't able to update Mozilla Thunderbird (TB): "Something went wrong and the update failed. Try it again."
TB has already the most actual version [78.11.0 (64 bits)]. So this message isn't usefull, but did not disappear.
It only disappears when I uninstall TB.
Is it an bug?

Personally I don't depend on these Avast Program updates, but do my own manual program updates for those programs I use frequently.

I also monitor the >> Updates << topic https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=9671.0 which gives Updates to hundreds of updates not covered by the few monitored by Avast.

This appears to have spread to Firefox, telling me there is an update available when I have the latest version.

So two for two on Mozilla products, I disabled checking on Thunderbird, looks like I'm going to do this for Firefox.  Gets to the point that I may just remove/disable this component.

Doing a Check For Updates now indicates all programs are up to date.
