- Thunderbird now compatible with other WebExtension-based FileLink add-ons like the Dropbox add-on

- New WebExtensions FileLink API to facilitate add-ons

- Fix decoding problems for messages with less common charsets (cp932, cp936)

- Address book search and auto-complete slowness

- Body search/filtering didn't reliably ignore content of tags

- According to RFC 4616 and RFC 5721, passwords containing non-ASCII characters are encoded using UTF-8 which can lead to problems with non-compliant providers, for example office365.com. The SMTP LOGIN and POP3 USER/PASS authentication methods are now using a Latin-1 encoding again to work around this issue
