TB 38 is EOL, please update to TB 45

[jimav]

Ubuntu 16.04 comes with Thunderbird 38.x, which apparently is no longer supported by Mozilla. In reply to a bug report, they said

   "Can you please upgrade to TB 45. TB 38 has come to the end of its life-cycle."

I don't know if that is authoritative, but if TB 38 is really EOL then the current Ubuntu should probably ship with a newer version.

Thanks.
