Hi! I recently updated Thunderbird to 102.3.0 (64-bit), a process that required me to download the required file and to install over the top of the previous version. However since then I am receiving regular messages saying that: "Thunderbird can't update to the latest version. Download a fresh copy of thunderbird and we'll help you to install it" The message includes a "Download Thunderbird" button. If I remember correctly this is the same message I got before I updated to 102.3.0. I have tried repeating the process but I continue to keep getting the same message, despite "About Mozilla Thunderbird" confirming that I am running 102.3.0.

I'm presuming this is a bug but I'm open to other suggestions. It's not a major problem but is slightly annoying.

All thoughts welcome! Cheers Don Clarkson
