Can somebody confirm that Version 14.0. 8117.0416 is the last

Windows 8.1 free upgrade but it was crashing all the time so I
decided to recover it and see if it works this time otherwise
I'll have to return it for a replacement.

I was helping my grandmother trying to set up Windows Live Mail so
she could use the Kodak printer's email scanned document feature.

Eventually, I gave up and resorted to TB.
I am wondering how she is coping with Thunderbird constant freeze
ups? I was playing with older backup copies from 2007. And I saw no
freezing with Thunderbird v1.5.0.8. So I wonder what version TB
started freezing? I know it is there in v12 too.

Since 24.3.0 is the current version, the best bet would be to leave
all ancient versions alone and use that. However, I don't know what
you were doing wrong, but I have never had any freezing with any
version of Thunderbird from its inception many years ago.
I don't know how you didn't get the memo? As it is the number one of
Thunderbird on the net.
Google search results aren't credible proof. Just because others did
something stupid like whatever you did doesn't make it a fact. If it
were a flaw in the software, it would happen to everyone.

I did something stupid? Ok Mr Know-It-All, what would that be?

Everybody else knows Thunderbird is filled with bugs. It is a hardcore
bugware enthusiast dream come true. ;-)

Yes, everyone knows, that hiding your bugtracker from the
public, means you have no bugs in your software.

When I found a bug in Windows 8, and the same bug was present
in Windows 8.1 Preview, where could I report it ? Not to
any publicly visible bugtracker, that's for sure. The fact
it wasn't fixed in Windows 8.1 Preview, tells you how good
the bug detection techniques (telemetry) are at Microsoft.
