I had a look. It's at the moment two WIP patches here:
https://gitlab.com/jonsger/Guix/-/tree/wip-icedove-78

Icedove 78 needs nss >= 3.53.1 and we have only 3.52.1. I didn't get
3.53-3.55 building so I tried 3.56 which worked but fails in the install
phase, but the backtrace is to short and there is no way to make it longer:

Backtrace:
           8 (primitive-load "/gnu/store/qjiyb1f5dpi689cwicvh7w5036a…")

So I'm not sure when I'm done with the update...
