Software requirements (WebExtension): For both Firefox and Thunderbird, always try to have at least the latest ESR (Extended Support Release), which in July 2023 was version 115.

Software requirements (Legacy Extension): For Firefox/Thunderbird 59 or below, use the .xpi, which I placed on GitHub. It is also intended for Firefox 61 and Thunderbird 61–64.
