Try app-admin/testdisk

Get to a point where you know for sure nothing is writing to the disk (or would 
be) and make an image with dd, then leave the physical disk alone. Then start 
recovery.

Hello Nicolai,

the USE flags don't make any difference. Rebuild my Thunderbird without
all system-* USE flags and with bindist enabled. No difference.

But I noticed some warnings related in the console which might be
related. I will check this today.

Best

Hello Nicolai,

one Fedora everything works as expected. But Fedora has a slightly older
version of Thunderbird and GTK.

Which useflags has your Thunderbird set? Mine has the following useflags:

dbus gmp-autoupdate lightning startup-notification system-av1
system-harfbuzz system-icu system-jpeg system-libevent system-libvpx
system-sqlite system-webp


I have the same USE flags +jack +pulseaudio

did you try thunderbird-bin?

Update.  Mick and I have beat this poor router until it is badly
bruised.  I think we tried about every option the router has.  I hate
calling the AT service number.  I usually have to go up a couple tiers
before I get someone who knows answers since I use Linux here.  Windoze,
mac, they can help a bit.  Linux, not the low level folks.  Well, it
finally hit me, I had the cell number of a tech from several years ago. 
He mostly works on phone service but he knows a bit about the DSL part
as well.  He got promoted I think a while back.  I texted him and found
out something I wish I had known before.  The DSL box that sits up the
road does not support IPv6.  That explains why nothing worked.  So,
after beating on that thing, I end up with nothing but IPv4 like I had
before. 

Well, there is one improvement.  I do have a very nice wireless router. 
That thing has AWESOME wireless range when using those long 9db
antennas.  They over a foot long but I can connect with my cell phone
300 feet down the road.  ROFL  Even going to the mailbox isn't a issue
now.  Old router, barely made it out the door and off the porch.

Thanks to all, especially Mick, who helped with this thing.  Maybe one
day, just maybe.

Hello Nicolai,

one Fedora everything works as expected. But Fedora has a slightly older
version of Thunderbird and GTK.

Which useflags has your Thunderbird set? Mine has the following useflags:

dbus gmp-autoupdate lightning startup-notification system-av1
system-harfbuzz system-icu system-jpeg system-libevent system-libvpx
system-sqlite system-webp

Why don't you just try it? What could you lose?
