Dear Maintainer,

        All the french menus disappear after update of thunderbird

        To try to solve, I go to the settings:general:Language BUT
        I can only choose the English(US) , the others languages have disappear
        and to install other languages ( with "search for more languages" ) I
must accept a connexion to mozilla's servers



   * What led up to the situation?

        1. an update done with apt ( apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ), which
installed a new version of thunderbird and thunderbird-l10n-fr (
1:102.15.1-1~deb12u1 updated to 1:115.3.1-1~deb12u1 )
        2. no access to mozilla's servers ( blocked by /etc/hosts ) on the
computer


The only solution to solve the problem is to accept an update from mozilla's
servers BUT I don't want to, I don't understand why I should accept that : I'm
on debian not on mozilla's linux


   * What outcome did you expect instead?
        I'd like to have a thunderbird without having to ask anything to
mozilla corporation and so I expect that thunderbird-l10n-fr gives me all the
languages I need without asking to mozilla.
