3.6 : 8-jun-2022
- merge Thunderbird branch back into Firefox version now they should be able to be the same again
- honour <shift> for a new window when selecting the explicit open-in-tab options
- add one-off prefs. patch for Thunderbird to make behaviour the most commonly expected
(the prefs. can be changed back manually, but virtually no one wants links opened in TB tabs or the same window
the originating email is in; attempts to replicate other reported TB prefs. oddities/failures failed, so presuming
these are all now fixed with this codebase and against latest TB/FF [~102] — if not, please raise a bug with details)
