I absolutely cannot believe this.

For as many years as most other Linux distributions have included Firefox and Thunderbird in their repos, they have been the VERY FIRST things I install.

Very sorry to have wasted two hours installing Debian this morning.

What a fucking bother.

These instructions do not add Thunderbird to the system.
