Public bug reported: One example:
Thunderbird cannot anymore handle the "s" key shortcut as expected(handing it over to the Nostalgy++ plugin for doing what it does when receiving this key) and as it worked before the update. The developer write: "Attention for TB 78.11: on TB loading, TB first sets Nostalgy keys, and after that, it sets its own TB keys, overwriting the keysetting of Nostalgy. In earlier versions of TB, TB did wait with loadiing of addons until TB itself was ready. That means after TB start, out of the box, the keys do not work. There is a workaround: open TB addons page (tools-> addons), deactivate Nostalgy++ with the blue slider switch, then reactivate Nostalgy++. Now it sets its key after TB is ready and they stay until the next restart." IMHO It's not good to introduce such a major functionality and API behaviour change with a minor version update labelled as security. (A similar thing happened with enigmail, by the way, which has been made impossible to use and replaced with a broken and incomplete internal implementation).
