I temporarily restored NVDA to use factory defaults. I didn't think
about that until now. I found that NVDA does automatically leave
forms mode when you tab out of the search field, but it goes back
into forms mode automatically when you tab to the list. Whether you
have done a search and you are in the list of results, or you just
tab to the list without doing a search, in which case you see all
entries in the address book, you automatically go into forms mode in
the list so you need do nothing.
In the old days, you could just use first letter navigation in the
list so this is a little less convenient but its only a minor
drawback. Even before the change, I used autocomplete because it
was faster and easier.

considering this further, from what you say, NVDA doesn't go into
browse mode automatically when you tab away from the search
field. But if anyone is either on the main list or in a list of
search results and you can't move properly through the list, turn
off browse mode and you will be able to do so.

and all,
I am using nvda 2022.1, thunderbird 102, Mozilla Apps
Enhancements 1.16
If I open the addressbook, say pressing ctrl shift b,
nvda immediately focus onto the search field.
If I type something like nvda, then I press two taps I can
browse all the match search results by moving up or down arrow.

Here is more information:
It appears what I did working with the address book had no
bearing on the add-on working.
I'm running Thunderbird Portable so I updated an old version
and tried working with the add-on in the newly updated
version. The add-on worked, even though I hadn't done what I
did in the address book in the version I updated earlier.
I hope others discuss whether the add-on works if they
update. I don't know if the add-on generally works or not and
if people are going to ask that it be modified to work with
the new version, we need to know if the modification is
necessary.

Here is an odd thing. The NVDA
Mozilla apps enhancements didn't work when I first tried it
in the new version. I tried it again a little later and now
it does. I was playing with the address book search, and I
have no idea if that changed anything regarding the layout
but it works for now, at least for now, I don't know if it
will continue to work.

If you want to look down the list of
addresses, if you turn browse mode off in the address book
and tab to the list, you can up and down arrow in it and
it will appear as a standard list. There is no first
letter navigation.
Autocomplete works as before in e-mail messages. I
haven't played with the search address book feature to any
extent and I'm not sure I understand it yet.

Here, below my signature, is the
page that comes up in Thunderbird the first time it runs
after the update. As you will see, the header layout
has been changed, which assumedly, accounts for the NVDA
Mozilla enhancements no longer working.
If people aren't aware of this, you can set Thunderbird
not to update automatically and to inform you when
updates are available.

New in Thunderbird 102
This article describes some of the major changes visible
to users in Thunderbird version 102. Full details of all
the changes can be found in the Thunderbird release
notes from 102.0 and up.
Thunderbird is both free and freedom respecting, but
we’re also completely funded by donations! Help us
sustain the project and continue to improve.

MESSAGE HEADER REDESIGN
Thunderbird 102 helps you be more productive with less
effort. When reading your email, the redesigned message
header allows you to focus on what matters as it
highlights important information. It’s also more
responsive and easier to navigate. Plus, you can star
important messages from the message header itself, and
easily convert them into a calendar event or a task.
NEW ADDRESS BOOK
Thunderbird 102 gives your contacts a serious upgrade!
The refreshed design makes it easier to navigate and
interact with your contacts, and helps you better
understand who you’re communicating with. The new
Address Book has compatibility with vCard specs, meaning
if your app can export your existing contacts into vCard
format, Thunderbird can import them. Each contact card
also acts as a launchpad for messaging, email, and event
creation.

Thunderbird.
NEW IMPORT/EXPORT WIZARD
Thunderbird 102 makes it quick and simple to move your
accounts and data around. The new step-by-step wizard
provides a guided experience for importing all that data
that’s important to you. We’ve also taken extra
precautions to ensure that no data is accidentally
duplicated in your profile after an import. Moving from
Outlook, SeaMonkey, or another Thunderbird installation
is easier than ever. No add-ons required!
NEW SPACES TOOLBAR
Thunderbird 102 makes navigating the application more
intuitive thanks to the the new Spaces Toolbar. Move
between all of your activities with ease, whether it’s
managing email, working with contacts through the
awesome new address book, using the calendar and tasks
functionality, chat, and even add-ons! If you want to
save screen real estate, the Spaces Toolbar can be
dismissed, and you can instead navigate the different
activities Thunderbird offers with the new Pinned Spaces
tab.

NEW MATRIX CHAT SUPPORT
Thunderbird 102 offers a new way to chat privately and
securely with your colleagues, friends, and family.
We’ve added support for the open-source, decentralized
chat protocol Matrix, and it’s usable right out of the
box! (As always, we welcome your feedback since it’s an
evolving service.)
OTHER NOTABLE CHANGES
There are many other big changes that make Thunderbird
102 a very large release including:
• New Icons and Default Folder Colors
• Use Thunderbird without an email account (for example,
as an RSS reader)
• Numerous OpenPGP improvements
• CalendarLocal parser converted to javascript
• Today Pane calendar UI refresh
• POP3 implemented in javascript
• Account settings moved to macOS application menu
• Plus: Application-wide font size control, Theme fixes,
FileLink fixes, Accessibility fixes, improved vCard
integration, improved calendar startup performance,
Calendar fixes including correct order of week view
headers and days for right to left locales.
You can see details of all our changes in the release
