Thunderbird update control based on extension compatibility

[Gwalior]

There are a couple of Thunderbird extensions that I regard as essential, such as the brilliant ThreadVis, which, alas, isn't currently compatible with v140.6.0esr

I know that I can prevent Thunderbird updates from being automatically installed, but the process of checking whether extensions are compatible is laborious, if not impossible - the ThreadVis page currently advises that it is compatible with Thunderbird 146!  I would have expected it to be compatible with v140.6.0esr...

As a user, I need an option to alert me if an update is incompatible with any extensions, and advise which extensions those are, allowing me to cancel an update.

Whether it is available for newer releases is largely up to the author.  If you are able to help them, perhaps then reach out.

From what I can see, the updated 3.6.14 available at https://threadvis.github.io/ has not yet been submitted by the author for review to https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/threadvis/.  It seems the author is struggling to keep up.
