Your question reminded me of the good old 16-bit Netscape... ;)

That is what I cut my gui browsing teeth on (after that text one and
mosaic). (I am 82 years young FYI)

BTW that old text browser I couldn't think of was Lynx :)

You will continue to get 32 bit updates and upgrades as long as there is a demand for it.  These days, nobody is making 32 bit machines so the days of 32 bit apps are also numbered.  For now they are available so enjoy them.  When you buy a new machine, the chances are it will be a 64 bit so it will have a 64 bit operating system and thus it will run both 32 bit and 64 bit apps.

Adobe has stopped making 32 bit apps for some of their products.  Microsoft is also doing the same.

Actually, I am running 64bit Windows 10 and have been for some time.
Many of the apps and programs are 64bit since they were auto installed.
I suppose I will install 64bit Thunderbird when it is offered normally
where I will not have to go thru a manual uninstall of the 32bit
version. Hopefully, the 64bit install will have progressed to the point
where all that will be done automagically :). I look forward to that
day. - Thanks for the feedback.

You always have the option to keep using 32-bit Thunderbird regardless
of Mozilla's decisions. 64-bit Win 10 should continue running 32-bit
programs and games.

Frankly, most newspaper websites should be text-only, like CNN Lite! :)

Uhm.... the world has become "All about Ads". Sources with useful news
are becoming harder to find.

Is there a 68.2.2 for 32 bit? My TB, when searching for updates from ->help, reports it is up to date in 68.2.1

Ads can be text-only! Why all the fuss about sound and moving pictures?
