  This version is not an “upgradeable” release, as stated by the
upstream. Not considered “next version” in the upgrades sequence. The
next version after 68.11 is 78.2, which is not released yet.

  Hypothetically [testing] could provide that release, but what for? To
produce bug reports that will need to be dismissed immediately, because
people didn’t suspected the upgrade is expected to break their
installations?

  What is the reason to install 78.0 or 78.1? Unless either:
 - You are interested in very early previews, in which case you probably
   should be on nightly anyway;
 - You are among the people affected by the CVEs present in 68.11?

  But if you have a reason, you can install the official Mozzila’s
release. There even is a ready PKGBUILD posted by someone on AUR, so you
do not need to write your own from scratch:
 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/thunderbird-bin/

  A side note: I am not simply dismissive. Initially I was considering
that putting it in [testing] may be a good idea. But after some talking
with people around I changed my opinion.
