I have been trying to update Thunderbird from V52 for a long time., Last time I tried, the add-ons I need were randomly only available for different versions, and hardly any of them were available for the latest version. After several days trawling through finding replacement add-ons trawling through hundreds of 20 per page lists and checking each add-on's versions history for compatibility , I gave up. Is there a simpler way to do this? There used to be pages of add ons for each version, no link for that anymore that I can see. Thunderbird would be a lot more popular if updates listed addons they made incompatible. Any ideas anyone?

There is an addon, 'addon compatibility check' that you might find useful. Addons are an independent exercise by private developers and Thunderbird has no oversight on their contributions.
