Expected behavior

As I have installed Mozilla.Thunderbird and not Mozilla.Thunderbird.Beta, I would expect to not see 117.0b6 offered here.

Actual behavior

winget offers 117.0b6 of Mozilla.Thunderbird.Beta as an upgrade for Mozilla.Thunderbird.

• Duplicate of winget upgrades stable Mozilla.Thunderbird to beta versions (because of missing manifests for newer stable versions?) #117949

[fblz]

I can't really understand why this issue was moved to winget-pkgs. If winget suggests a beta version as an upgrade for a stable version, I think the problem is not with winget-pkgs, but with the version detection of winget itself.

I've also stumbled upon this issue and it basically makes it impossible to update Thunderbird via winget. If this is intentional why not remove the package completely?
