Thanks for seeing this through, but let me raise some important points.
Why is Thunderbird not covered by the same update policy as Firefox? Sure it's not a web browser, but it's one of the most important and widely used GUI email clients. Also, it is a close cousin of Firefox.
These updates took way too long to come out for LTS releases, and they are/were already obsolete once they did roll out. For example, the 78.9.x and 78.10.x releases are more than a month old at this point, and both contain fixes for "high" severity vulnerabilities:

I think Ubuntu should make a greater effort to keep up with Thunderbird upstream.
