The title heavily implies that Mozilla's is closed-source. It isn't: https://github.com/mozilla/send

Actually since it says forked it implies that Mozilla maintains a closed-source version. No, it was cancelled.

The Thunderbird team is working on a fork!

"The Thunderbird team was very sad when Firefox Send was shut down. Firefox Send made it possible to send large files easily, maybe easier than any other tool on the Internet. So we’re reviving it, but not without some nice improvements. Thunderbird Send will not only allow you to send large files easily, but our version also encrypts them" - https://blog.thunderbird.net/2024/10/thunderbird-annual-repo...

Good, that will distract them for a while and will prevent them from actively making TB even worse with every release.

I like keeping my software secure and up to date, but I dread every TB upgrade, wondering what stupid cosmetic change will trip me up this time.
