I only use Thunderbird on macOS. What I've noticed is that after a while 
it doesn't show messages (the contents) in the preview pane anymore. A 
restart fixes this. It's still in 158.0. There is an update to 158.0.1 
available, no idea if that contains a fix.

I just use whatever comes with Ubuntu :-). Don't like to configure 
things endlessly. And I pick Ubuntu because it's common. If I run into 
an issue others might have done too, and maybe provide a fix.
