of included repo's in pacman.conf would determine which one would be installed, which might lead to confusion and issues.

Thunderbird-artix is available within a day of a new Thunderbird release. Also, the api integrations for ie. location services for Google and Mozilla have been disabled, as well as crashreporter and updater, and jack audio is enabled.

BTW, there have been a couple of interesting additional posts regarding octupus on Arch [7][8], in case that's an option (apparently no need to patch TB, but I can't tell for sure).  I'll be exploring those when having some time, but I wouldn't complain if integrated to Artix before I can take a look :)

Thanks for clarifying about the diffs on thunderbird-artix.  I like the location being disabled by default.

Thanks again !
