I am using Thunderbird 140.7.1esr (64bit) on Linux.
On starting Thunderbird, a pop-up box appears on the bottom left corner in red text saying
"upcoming account change"
with a button linking to more information. Clicking on that button tried to take me to a mozilla web site which is giving an error:
https://support.mozilla.org/ sent back an error.
Error code: 406 Not Acceptable
Googling the error message gives one result and that is to a page on that web site too: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1569758
Any idea what that pop-up was about and what is happening? Is it something to do with Yahoo needing a new way of connecting?

(a) The site https://support.mozilla.org/ is still not responding. Is it a fake site, nothing to do with Mozilla?
(b) The pop-up has not returned - was it just some sort of phishing scam?

Is there anybody...
... out there?
I assume the message was a phishing scam and I'll forget about it.
As for https://support.mozilla.org/ , according to the Wayback Machine, that hasn't worked since January. Is Mozilla starting to fail? Even trying to access it from the link on mozilla.org gives:
If the problem continues, contact the site owner.

Even the Help Centre link from the Help Centre fails:
support.mozilla.org sent back an error.
