Does anyone have plans on doing this one? The address book search not working properly is quite annoying and I just ran into it.

I'm not intending to touch thunderbird until I update the book to llvm-11 and rustc-1.47.0, but in the meantime I'll note that thunderbird-78.3.2 became available yesterday. No release notes yet, I looked at a build candidate earlier yesterday and I think it only affects mac OS (I guess that is what we used to call OSX, the version is now 11).

When I update llvm and rust I've got a patch for firefox-78.3-series which also applies to thunderbird-78.3, and a slightly smaller patch for firefox-78.4 (two backports are already included in 78.4). Maybe a week or more away from that.

Typo, 78.3.3.

[Bruce Dubbs]

Please go ahead and do this in the course of your normal updates of rust and FF.

78.4.0 now available, I assume the release notes will appear tomorrow.

Will do as part of hte updates to llvm-11 and rustc-1.47.0.

Promoting to 'high' because of the last of the security bugs. I'll try and get this in with current rustc-1.42.0, I'm some way from getting all the measurements for the llvm and rust set of changes. This should just drop in with the current instructions.
