TB has decided that it has to be our TLS nanny and only wants to support versions >= 3 going forward. My employer's sh***y Exchange mailserver doesn't support 3 yet, so I go into Edit -> Preferences -> General -> Config Editor and change security.tls.version.min from 3 to 1, and all is fine. Until a new TB RPM arrives, and it is silently reset to 3. Could prefs.js (or wherever this is stored) please be designated as a config file so that if the user has modified it it doesn't get replaced or modified ? Because all of the other customized settings are left alone. Clearly, prefs.js is not being replaced in toto, so if there is some specific patch that does this reset that can be eliminated, I would very much appreciate it.
rpm package installation never modifies files in /home (which may or may not be mounted when the packages are installed). If new versions of thunderbird are modifying that value, it's being done by thunderbird itself, not by the anything done in the packaging. According to https://support.mozilla.org/da/questions/1295861 it intentionally alters it, but allows it to be manually changed after that.

Thanks, Dave. I guess it's just going to be a PITA for a while then.

Hopefully it's just the one release of tb that changed the prior setting, not part of every new version.
