Qubes OS version Qubes Release 4.0 (R4.0)

Affected component(s) or functionality Unable to get a working combination of thunderbird and the qubes-thunderbird addon to be able to launch attachments.

Brief summary tried to install the suggested testing repositories in the debian-10 and also a fedora-33 template. alsdo downloaded the .deb package from https://ftp.qubes-os.org/repo/deb/r4.1/vm/pool/main/q/qubes-thunderbird/ and installed qubes-thunderbird_2.0.5-1+deb10u1_amd64.deb Thunderbird is Version 78.8.0 but it doesn't work with the qubes-thunderbird plugin version 2.0.5

How Reproducible Install recent version of thunderbird 78.8 from the repositories. install latest version of qubes-thunderbird add-on 2.0.5. launch thunderbird -> qubes-thunderbird plugin will not work with this version.

Expected behavior beeing able to use qubes-thunderbird add-on with thunderbird

Actual behavior qubes-thunderbird add-on can't be used / is disabled.

Solutions you've tried tried to install the latest versions from the testing repositores and also a manual dpkg -i *.deb install.

This is a duplicate of #5318. In short: a version that works with Thunderbird 78+ will happen at some point, but it will be essentially a complete rewrite and is currently blocked on getting some needed APIs from the Thunderbird developers. So don’t hold your breath. In the meantime, R4.1 may provide a way to tell an application to open everything in a DispVM, which might provide a partial workaround.

but afaik there is no release date for qubes 4.1 yet. as a workarround I have been able to reconfigure the AppVM, so that a click on an URL in thunderbird will launch a disposable vm by tweaking the links.desktop file in the appvm and replacing links with open-in-dispvm
