I have changed over to Thunderbird 78 in my XFCE desktop environment in openSUSE LEAP 15.2, (3 computers) imported all my digital signatures and keys. It works well, just as before. (Over 19 keys involved). My only display slight dislike is the 'blue text background' template. I use Thunderbird across many computer OSs so that will always be default for me. (It's easy to swap profile to other machines) I have never got on well with Claws Mail but that is a personal thing. This change is very much smaller than the fact that XFCE does not display correct PRINT dialog being far to big, as the buttons are off screen at bottom. So although I use XFCE for most things, I go to KDE when I need to compose or print things. Thus whereas use was 95% XFCE it is now about 60% XFCE, This "print" problem, also resulted in me changing many older computers, for seniors, where I teach and support them, from XFCE to other desktop environments. They need not only a 'light environment' but absolute default working in things like printing with LibreOffice.org -- Regards.
