It's almost time! Thunderbird 115 Supernova releases at noon PST / 3pm EST / 9pm CEST.
(Less than an hour from right now!)
Textual words from them:
It’s our first step towards a more modern, more beautiful, and more customizable Thunderbird experience. We think you’re going to love it, and we are endlessly grateful for all of your support throughout the years 💙
Can anyone confirm whether or not it’s built on Electron?
The closest I can find is from Feb 2023, saying that at that time it would not be Electron:
Mozilla also still plans to use the Firefox web browser as the core platform for Thunderbird. That leaves Thunderbird as one of the few cross-platform mail applications that isn’t an Electron app or based on web technologies in some way
So possibly Electron-like but based on Firefox rather than Chromium?

It’s based on the “Mozilla application framework” [0]

Electron apps bundle chromium…. It would be ridiculous for Mozilla to bundle their competitions web browser to make Thunderbird lol.
From what I’ve read, it is not, but it basically contains Firefox to do the rendering.

It’s not an electron app, I installed it.
