Other bugs fixed and changes made :

  - FileLink provider WeTransfer to upload large attachments

  - Thunderbird now allows the addition of OpenSearch search     engines from a local XML file using a minimal user     inferface: [+] button to select a file an add, [-] to     remove.

  - More search engines: Google and DuckDuckGo available by     default in some locales

  - During account creation, Thunderbird will now detect     servers using the Microsoft Exchange protocol. It will     offer the installation of a 3rd party add-on (Owl) which     supports that protocol.

  - Thunderbird now compatible with other WebExtension-based     FileLink add-ons like the Dropbox add-on

  - New WebExtensions FileLink API to facilitate add-ons

  - Fix decoding problems for messages with less common     charsets (cp932, cp936)

  - New messages in the drafts folder (and other special or     virtual folders) will no longer be included in the new     messages notification

  - Thunderbird 60 will migrate security databases (key3.db,     cert8.db to key4.db, cert9.db). Thunderbird 60.3.2 and     earlier contained a fault that potentially deleted saved     passwords and private certificate keys for users using a     master password. Version 60.3.3 will prevent the loss of     data; affected users who have already upgraded to     version 60.3.2 or earlier can restore the deleted     key3.db file from backup to complete the migration.

  - Address book search and auto-complete slowness     introduced in Thunderbird 60.3.2

  - Plain text markup with * for bold, / for italics, _ for     underline and | for code did not work when the enclosed     text contained non-ASCII characters

  - While composing a message, a link not removed when link     location was removed in the link properties panel

  - Encoding problems when exporting address books or     messages using the system charset. Messages are now     always exported using the UTF-8 encoding

  - If the 'Date' header of a message was invalid, Jan 1970     or Dec 1969 was displayed. Now using date from     'Received' header instead.

  - Body search/filtering didn't reliably ignore content of     tags

  - Inappropriate warning 'Thunderbird prevented the site     (addons.thunderbird.net) from asking you to install     software on your computer' when installing add-ons

  - Incorrect display of correspondents column since own     email address was not always detected

  - Spurious (encoded newline) inserted into drafts and sent     email

  - Double-clicking on a word in the Write window sometimes     launched the Advanced Property Editor or Link Properties     dialog

  - Fixe Cookie removal

  - 'Download rest of message' was not working if global     inbox was used

  - Fix Encoding problems for users (especially in Poland)     when a file was sent via a folder using 'Sent to > Mail     recipient' due to a problem in the Thunderbird MAPI     interface

  - According to RFC 4616 and RFC 5721, passwords containing     non-ASCII characters are encoded using UTF-8 which can     lead to problems with non-compliant providers, for     example office365.com. The SMTP LOGIN and POP3 USER/PASS     authentication methods are now using a Latin-1 encoding     again to work around this issue

  - Fix shutdown crash/hang after entering an empty IMAP     password
