How do I downgrade to an older version of Thunderbird on Rocky Linux (RHEL clone)?

For my last update (yum update -y) I got Thunderbird 115 which has lots of problems.

If I try “yum downgrade thunderbird”, I get the error: Last metadata expiration check: 3:43:41 ago on Tue 14 Nov 2023 04:57:52 PM EST. Package thunderbird of lowest version already installed, cannot downgrade it. Dependencies resolve

I downloaded: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/102.9.1/linux-x86_64/en-US/thunderbird-102.9.1.tar.bz2 but when I unzip and click the thunderbird icon, Thunderbird doesn’t pick up my Thunderbird profile. I saw some windows downgrade tutorial that said to delete compatibility.ini from profile but when I deleted compatibility.ini Thunderbird still doesn’t pick my profile.

Thunderbird has no supported downgrade process. You can use the -allow-downgrade command line parameter to force the use of a newer profile folder with an older version, but no backwards data conversions take place.

Are you saying the red hat build of Thunderbird is now so far from the standard Thunderbird that profile per install is missing from the base product? That just might start a serious discussion about what maintainers must not do to continue to distribute the product.

As I said there is NO downgrade process that is officially supported that will revert data changes from the update. I looked at that post and it says they will point you to the past version they released. It should still refuse to find your old profile which has been used with a newer version.
