Hi I know there is this ppa (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1210695) for install Thunderbird beta and it seems it is not compatible and outdated anymore. Is there any way to install Thunderbird beta anymore for Ubuntu 20.04 or Ubuntu 20.10?

Why don't you just download from here https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/beta/all/, extract and run? It doesn't get easier than that. This was already mentioned in the replies of the thread you linked to.

I know this is tar package. But, for the further update I need to remove reinstall it manually which is quite impractical for longer term.

I don't know. You'll have to find that out for yourself. Try Googling for it.
