Research direction

Start with the Try Server documentation page at developer.thunderbird.net/thunderbird-development/fixing-a-bug/try-server and compare its Firefox references with the Thunderbird Treeherder try-comm-central link. Determine where Thunderbird try builds can be viewed or downloaded, then add Thunderbird-specific instructions so contributors can find their results.

Description

https://developer.thunderbird.net/thunderbird-development/fixing-a-bug/try-server

The closest I could find on here was "it works pretty similar to Firefox's try server" and links to their docs. But the "how to view your results" on the Firefox Try docs only links the Firefox try server and ftp.

Should add a Thunderbird-specific how to view the results.
Treeherder: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try-comm-central

I haven't found the FTP where the builds get put yet, or I'd have a PR for this. :-)
