Version 53.0.2 has been released, with some bug fixes. There doesn't seem to have been a 53.0.1, as far as I can tell.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thanks, Hans!

I had automatically received the download but had to restart to implement it.

Slightly OT question: Mozilla seem not to have a 64-bit version of Thunderbird. Do you why?

Although there appear to be unofficial 64-bit builds of Thunderbird, they aren't supported. A link that I found was not accessible.

Anyway, the advantages of a 64-bit version over the standard 32-bit version would be marginal or non-existent.
Best wishes,

Yes, I sorta figured that the additional power would be wasted on an email client.

Yes, got it yesterday, but didn't post anything since I thought it was minor update, and didn't know there was a thread for Fx 53.x.
