That there's little activity here, I assume the support function has
transitioned to a TBird forum. Where is it?

Details:
If I go here:
'https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/',
and click the "SUPPORT" link in the ribbon bar, I'm taken here:
'https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/thunderbird'.
If I then click the "Get community support" link, I'm taken here:
'https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/get-community-support'.

There are many, confusing links there, but it seems that none of them go
to a TBird forum.

If I persist and 'click-around' a bit, I can eventually arrive here:
'https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/thunderbird/other/form?search=x&step=aaq-question'

So, I found where to ask a question, but where can I simply browse the
forum?

Warm Regards,
Mark.

Here you go:
<https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/thunderbird?show=all>

Note that on <https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/thunderbird>,
the search field will search the forum as well as documentation. And on
the support site, all replies to a thread are considered answers by
contributors, which means you can't ask your question in someone else's
thread.

Nope, but thanks. That site is too confusing, limiting, and frustrating.

Not an official support forum.

"mozillaZine is an independent Mozilla community and advocacy site.
We're not affiliated or endorsed by the Mozilla Corporation but we love
them just the same."

But I'm sure you saw that.

Yeah, thanks. The official support forum looks like an awful hedge maze
and hard (impossible) to search. I just need a place to (rarely) ask
questions. The Mozillazine site looks welcoming and normal, like the
sort of place my friends would hang out in. I think I'll hang out there,
too.

Thanks, all of you, for your help!
