Mozilla does provide flatback and official Flatpak for thunderbird, but they are always behind release and they usually stick for long time at old versions.

I don't want also to have to check for updates and do them manually on my linux machine. so I wrote this to do automate the process

Create the auto-update script: ~/.local/bin/update-thunderbird

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
