Please let whoever steers Thunderbird development and road map also steer Firefox.

Thunderbird is at the moment the pinnacle of user-centered, focused and down-to-earth development of open-source software.

That’s because Thunderbird is no longer part of Mozilla but an independent, community-developed project.

Apart from the UI which is crap since their last major update. There are menu options everywhere, two ribbons on the top, a hamburger menu on the right and another on the left. For a long time you opened Thunderbird and it didn't default on the last message that you received but somewhere in the middle of the heap.

		As a longterm thunderbird user I find this annoying. I appreciate it being maintained more actively again but I really liked the fact that the UI stayed stable for years. Changing things to make them "more modern" is just annoying. No one asked for this.

I ended up switching over to Betterbird. It's easier to setup and more stable.

What are you talking about? Thunderbird has barely any progress in the last years. It's more busy with breaking and fixing things. Sure, there are reasons for it, but as a user, all I see is stalemate, while one addon after another is dying. Thunderbird Mobile is nice, and I hope Thunderbird Pro will be something good, but so far none of them are the big breakthroughs.
