Dear Maintainer,
after upgrading thunderbird to 1:115.1.0-1, it has become unusable.
starting works nicely and i get the password prompt, after which the
main screen is shown.
however, the window is totally unresponsive, and thunderbird works
happily at 100% for hours.
this isn't normal for sure. But there can be various reasons why TB is
eaten all available CPU power. In quite all the cases I've encountered
the profile was the reason for this.
You might have seen and tried some options you have seen on the Debian
wiki page, if not please keep an eye on it.
https://wiki.debian.org/Thunderbird#Bug_Reporting_.2F_Issues
The mainly two main points to debug the situation are to run the JS
console if possible and to start up with a clean profile if no reason
and solution can be found in the JS log console.
Sorry, I haven't more useful tips.
...
As you can see i'm slightly tight on disk space (and my ~/.thunderbird/
folder takes about 5.2GB), but i *think* this should be a usable setup.
of course, thunderbird_115 upgraded my profile, so i can no longer
downgrade to the thunderbird from bookworm :-(
There is the option '--allow-downgrade' which works quite acceptable in
recent days in case you need to start with an older version.
$ thunderbird -h | grep downgrade
--allow-downgrade Allows downgrading a profile.
