Hello, I see on my running thunderbird-bin from time to time a popup which invites me to download a newer version. This is annoying and misleading, because I am running a gentoo packaged version, which should never be updated by a user through the running program itself. I expect that a portage managed package disables any in-application update mechanisms and also any new version checks. Regards Martin
I can confirm that, and it's really annoying. i got a popup several times a day since...long ago (several months?). It says that a new version is available. Recently (few weeks), it got worse, i also have another popup telling me my thunderbird is at risk/obsolete/whatever.
