Hi Gene,
Well that seems to be true--unless you look at the What's new link.
https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/102.1.1/releasenotes/
Here's what it says:
Thunderbird version 102.1.1 is only offered as direct download from
thunderbird.not as an upgrade from Thunderbird version 91 or
earlier.
...and even more confusing:
Version 102.1.1, first offered to channel users on August 8, 2022
(which is actually tomorrow.)
I downloaded the 102.0 from within Thunderbird a few weeks ago. Just
yesterday, the program auto updated from 102.1.0 to 102.1.1. This
is when I first noticed the status bar issue.
So explain that Gene! It's liked the twilight zone.

using the portable version and, though I doubt it, perhaps that
accounts for the difference.
Whatever the case, in a later message, you said that the version
you are using isn't available on the download page you were
working with. I don't know where you were looking. If I look on
this page:
https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/
I see links to download Thunderbird.
Here is the first download link and you will see that it gives the
102.x. version number.
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=thunderbird-102.1.1-SSL&os=win64&lang=en-US
On the page I linked to above, not the download link, you will
also see a get the beta link.has a get the beta link. If you
follow that, the link to download the beta, the first link offered
gives a higher verssion number as below:
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=thunderbird-104.0b2-SSL&os=win64&lang=en-US
I used the copy link feature of Firefox when I was on the
download links. I am presenting the written out underlying links,
not the English wording you see if you just look at the page.
I don't know where you are looking but the page I just gave the
link to has correct version availability.
In short, you are using the latest nonbeta version.

Hi Gene,
I can tell you this. When I use the NVDA keystroke to read the
whole screen for desktops insert + B, (useful in dialogues and
other things that sometimes don't automatically read) if you
listen to all the verbiage, finally at the very end, the status
bar is read. This means that it is still being displayed in
some form.

The
status bar was not present in the previous version on my
machine and it still isn't.
I'm going to check to see if there is even supposed to be a
status bar any longer. We don't know if it has been removed.

Hi
Group,
Has anyone upgraded Thunderbird to the latest version
102.1.1? If so, can you read the status bar? I cannot on
my system: Windows 11, 64 bit with latest NVDA 2022.2.
