This has been posted in Thunderbird for a while, but we didn’t ever post it here to the TAG site. IR put up a clarification about Thunderbird’s upgrade prompt:
Upgrade to Thunderbird 3.x? Never!
IT Services began deploying 3rd party patches on August 10, 2010. Initial updates included Adobe Reader, Flash, Shockwave and Java. The current prompt received by many to upgrade from Thunderbird 2.x to Thunderbird 3.x is not being pushed by ITS and is not a required update.
ITS is currently supporting Thunderbird 2.x and is recommending that individuals NOT install Thunderbird 3.x. If you receive the prompt to upgrade, click Never.
