Thunderbird won't update

Our Zorin 15 Core laptop was not updating Thunderbird. It still had version 60 on it, the latest is 68. Nothing happens when you open TB help. It's supposed to check for updates, but it doesn't. I think I installed this from the software center.

I uninstalled it and reinstalled through the terminal. So now it has version 68.x. Hopefully it will update normally. If not I'll let you know.

Thunderbird would likely have been installed from Software centre on Z15.x Core. At least that is how I installed it initially on my Z15C. I have had no problem with getting subsequent Thunderbird updates via the Software Updater (Thunderbird Help/About update route is for Windows users). I'm in the habit of manually running Software Updater after initial login, to check for and install any fresh OS and application updates before beginning my session.

Also is your software updater set to 'Main Server'? ;) :D
