Congrats on the new site! Little bug report: if you click on a navigation elements and hover another, both open and overlap:
Contribute and About menus on Thunderbird.net both opened.

There's a bug with the site on dark mode where some text is illegible due to low contrast. Screenshots taken with FF 126.0 on Ubuntu 22.04

Compared to the rest of the site, those buttons feel noticably laggy, is it? Though maybe just my phone, or Firefox. Though, congrats on new design.

It looks good, but I found a few misses.

The header looks like it was smashed together in a too small area. And the content on the website seems to be way off to the right.

@hund Thanks for reporting this and sharing with screencaps! This looks like mobile FF - do you mind sharing if this is Android or iOS? We can go ahead and file an issue on Github

Looks great!
I was hoping that it would be easier to find a link to checksums and or pgp signatures on the download page.

@fubaroque We know reporting things twice is a pain. We'll be monitoring our socials for any issues - and of course, we're always grateful for any bug reports!

That seems a more reasonable response to a bug “report” than starting an argument… 🤣

Anyway done. No problem at all. I can in fact rotate my iPod to get at that hamburger if I really needed/wanted to.

@msdropbear42 if http still not redirecting for you? If so, can you let us know what OS and browser you're using to access the website?

@msdropbear42 It should be redirecting to HTTPS. If not, then post something here for the dev team: github.com/thunderbird/thunder…
