This was the ubuntuzilla code...

Since I detest snap packages - this has been modified to download the thunderbird release  - make a package of it and install it

**Finally snap free**

Checkout the repo

run 

```bash
#python3 mozillapackager.py
```

it installs as `thunderbird-mozilla-build` = so should be no need to pin/block thunderbird install
(recommend removing thunderbird beforehand) - also if you profile doesnt come up try

```bash
#thunderbird --ProfileManager
```



This code is for packaging official Mozilla releases of Firefox, Thunderbird, and Seamonkey into .deb packages within an APT repository for use with Debian-derivative systems. 

It is currently being used to maintain the Ubuntuzilla repository which is hosted at https://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntuzilla/

Detailed instructions and documentation are also available on the Sourceforge project site.
