I desperately need to uninstall 13.4.0 and go back to the immediately previous version

Question

Is this help site designed by the same people who keep devolving Thunderbird? Are these people bored? Are they so young they've never heard of the adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"? Because with 13.4.0 they have actually BROKEN Thunderbird to the point that I cannot use it. It's preventing me from running my business right this moment. The address bar does not work, causing me great humilation yesterday when I sent 20 emails to the same address, not realizing your broken software changed all the addresses I chose to the first one that popped up after I tabbed to the next line. The spell check doesn't work. I can't change font colors when composing. When I enter the compose screen the cursor lands in the text field instead of the address. I WILL NEVER DOWNLOAD ANOTHER OF YOUR ALLEGED UPGRADES TO THIS SOFTWARE. I desperately need to get back to the previous version before I lose any more money in my business. I have read the instrux for doing this at the appropriate links, and I can't even begin to understand these instux. Is there anybody out there who can walk me through getting this garbage off my computer and back to the 13.3.0 version, which actually WORKS? Waiting anxiously ... Christine

Answer 1

I guess the best answer would be in the form of a question: Are you using Thunderbird right now with 31.4.0? You're free to doubt me, but I'm telling you, I would not have gone through all the trouble to try to register here at this site if Thunderbird had not been majorly compromised after I downloaded 31.4.0. IT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! I'm not the only one having the exact same problems with it. It's useless like this. And because I cannot understand the instructions that you find so clear, I'm stuck with this because I don't have time to bring a new email client in right now. I've already spent more time than I have trying to get help.
THE ADDRESS WINDOW DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY
First of all, when you click on the "write" button, the cursor lands in the body of the email instead of the first line of the address window. THIS IS A MAJOR CHANGE FOR THE WORSE.
Second of all, when you start typing in a name and the address choices window appears, and you choose one that is not at the top of the list, Thunderbird places that address in the correct spot. BUT, everytime you advance to the next address line, Thunderbird changes all previously entered addresses to the first address you chose. Now I have to use the mouse to position the cursor, one address line at a time, or all the addresses will be the same as the first, actually CHANGED by the software without giving that software any commands.
When I highlight a word in the text of an email I am composing, and click on "spell," I just get the audible error sound from my computer. IT DOES NOTHING. When I highlight a word in the text of an email I am composing, and click on the color option to change the color of that word, IT DOES NOTHING except generate an audible error sound from my computer.
Please tell me you can understand my descriptions of these problems BETTER than I can understand the instrux you find so easy for uninstalling and going back to the previous version of Thunderbird. I appreciate your taking time to help me, but it is NOT HELPFUL to tell me that what I am experiencing is NOT happening simply because you "doubt" it.
