<p>Unfortunately not possible. That part was removed from core code
and we noticed it way too late. Bug 1574183.<br>
</p>
<p>Add-ons will check though, just that there is a delay. <br>

<p>Dear Wayne,</p>
<p>Really important - I was notified by two users this morning
who claim that <b>they were auto-updated from 60.* to 68.2</b>
(one from Germany, the other one from UK) - apparently my
Smarttemplate⁴ Add-on was (incorrectly) set to incompatible,
which can be easily rectified by the user through context menu
/ search for updates. The problem is that this may affect a
large number of users, is it possible to force an Add-on
update after the upgrade? I could imagine a lot of users
trying to initially revert to Thunderbird 60 if Add-ons fail
like this on a grand scale.</p>
<p>Note that my Add-on contains both install.rdf and
manifest.json, but the "modern" version (json file) already
supports 60 ["strict_min_version": "60.0"], so the upgrade to
68 shouldn't really be a large change from an extension
perspective. (Could it be that all legacy add-ons are set to
incompatible by some overly-cautious validation routine?)<br>
</p>
<p>thanks,<br>
Axel<br>

<p>We just got hit with a <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1592407">major
issue with google oauth</a> which forced us to quickly ship
68.2.1 and beta 71.0b2. These went live earlier today, and
version 68 users are being aggressively updated. Without this
fix, authentication using oauth to google services (calendar,
imap, etc) fails.<br>
</p>
<p>Unfortunately this issue also affects users of the EOL
version 60. A decision will be made shortly on whether to
update version 60, or just open the floodgates to update users
to 68. The brings up some timely important points:</p>
<p>1. Serious issues develop in old versions which necessitate
their being abandoned in favor of newer versions whose code we
are able to fix. We will be enabling automatic updates in a
few days to update version 60 users up to version 68.<br>
</p>
<p><b>2. Add-ons -- </b><b><b> The good news is m</b>any
updated versions of add-ons have recently been approved. The
bad news is many still need to be updated and submitted for
review. Time is running out if you </b><b>are a developer
who wants their add-on to work for the many users that will
</b><b><u>very soon</u></b><b> be on version 68. </b>If you

<p>3. Several people have adopted abandoned add-ons and fixed
them to work for version 68. If you want to help in that
