Comment 2 Nicolas Salguero 2016-12-02 09:33:06 CET
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2016-92/ says thunderbird is also affected.  Do we need a separate bug report or can we handle thunderbird in the current one?

We always handle them separately now.  I can no longer update Thunderbird myself.  Lightning is bundled, but Mozilla screwed up and the l10n files for it are not in the tarball, so those have to be obtained directly from their VCS.  Florian has usually handled it, but he has dropped the ball this time, so someone else needs to do it.  Thunderbird is in Bug 19815.
