Category of the issue

Side-By-Side installation.

Brief description of your issue

Mozilla.Thunderbird 102.4.2 installed the 32-Bit program while I had the 64-Bit version installed (64-Bit Win 11).
In the end I had Thunderbird twice and winget didn't recognize the previous installation as updated (as it wasn't).
I manually removed the 32-Bit version, openend the 64-Bit version afterwards and updated through the included updater.

Research direction

Start with the reported winget upgrade Mozilla.Thunderbird command and compare the installed x64 Thunderbird with the downloaded win32 installer URL in the issue. Done means the upgrade selects the 64-bit package on 64-bit Windows and does not install Thunderbird side by side.
