This article describes how to install Thunderbird on Windows.

• If you are upgrading from a previous version of Thunderbird, see Updating Thunderbird.

MSI Afterburner is a handy overclocking utility that works with all graphics cards. Main features include GPU/Shader/Memory clock adjustment, advanced fan speed and GPU voltage control. The MSI shows 'Mozilla Firefox 66.0a1' instead Thunderbird. I found no en-US MSI package. I am 99.9% sure that there are no enUS MSI's because I set up the try job wrong. The Symbol uploads also failed, again probably something with the try job configuration. Marking this review+ so it can land in C-C and we can start generating nightlies.

• Make sure that your computer meets the System Requirements.

• Although Thunderbird will run on Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or above, the latest installers for Thunderbird require Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (SP3). If you are running Windows XP SP2, please follow these instructions on how to install the latest Thunderbird on your system.

• Do not install Thunderbird using a limited Windows XP account. For more information, see How to determine your user account type in Windows at microsoft.com.

1. Visit the Thunderbird download page in any browser (e.g. Firefox or Microsoft Internet Explorer). The page will automatically recommend the best version(s) of Thunderbird for you.
   
2. Click on the green download link to download the Thunderbird installer. Depending on your connection speed, the download may take up to a few minutes. Thanks for your patience… it’ll be worth the wait!
3. Start the process by clicking .
   
4. Then, just follow the steps (we’ve made the process as painless as possible).
   
   Congratulations, you are done installing Thunderbird!
5. Double-click on the Thunderbird icon whenever you want to communicate.
