Tabs for each channel of Release Notes index page (ESR, Release, Beta)
There tend to be very few point releases for each release channel version. It doesn't make a lot of sense to put these point release into columns or on separate lines.
I think also, it would be nice to add some distinguishing text next to the version number to indicate "ESR" or "Release".

Especially given that there has been 128.0 Release and 128.0 ESR. And there will be 140.0 Release and 140.0 ESR
Yeah there should be a tab or filter to show esr/release versions. We talked about redoing this page for that, but haven't gotten around to it.
I'd hesitate against including all point releases on one line as ESR builds tend to have plenty of point releases. I think it's better to be consistent, but maybe that's something we can play around with if we split ESR/Release releases.
I would like to tab this page by channel and add beta to it as well as release and ESR.
Just commenting to ensure it's known that 128 notes are missing from https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/releases/ I thought I saw an issue for that in the past but I can't find it. A user just brought this up.
@coreycb It's resolved in https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-website/issues/807 (stage: https://stage.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/releases/) but the site just misses a prod push;) wink wink.
#807 has been closed, but the 128esr note remains missing at https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/releases/. According to the Internet Archive, 128esr has not been seen since the May 8th snapshot at the latest. https://web.archive.org/web/20250508065327/https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/releases/
Will things stay the way they are until each channels is made into tabs? Is there any reason why the prod site is not updated?
I will push this up to prod later today, so it should be live by tomorrow (due to cloudflare's aggressive caching 😄)
Thanks folks!
Also I should note: This issue is for a separate issue that isn't fixed 😅
