Bug Description

Thunderbird version shipped with Ubuntu is 31.7.0, which is much older than the current version 38.0.1 released by Mozilla. The package version is the same in 15.04 and 15.10. Please, update the package to a more recent Thunderbird version.

It seems all supported Ubuntu releases received the Thunderbird update to 38.2.0 a few hours ago.
So this bug should probably be marked as "Fixed".
