I have been getting messages to up date Thunderbird. The first 3 were last week, and appeared to be in Chinese. Today I started to keep the update messages in English. So I went the the thunderbird update release channel and downloaded the latest release. But, I am still getting notifications to update thunderbird. I rechecked the release channel and am using the current version.

So anybody know what is going on?

Are you on V115? do you have one of the number of antivirus programs that nag you to update to a new version as soon as it is released? Even before auto updates are enabled for general Thunderbird users. (the first 2 weeks after a new release is just new users that download it.)_

Greetings Matt, I am v102 of thunderbird. I have not had this problem before with my antivirus.

perhaps you could screen capture one of the messages, with the actual message we might be able to do better than guess.

There is no error message. When I turn on my computer a pop appears directing me to thunderbird for an update. The ones in Chinese were really strange - but I have not gotten that one again.

I still have no idea what this pop up looks like.
