52.6.0 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 18.04. On both gnome on Xorg and gnome on Wayland the 
progress bar uses 100% of one of my CPUs.
I know that if there is no other task a modern CPU tends to be in sleep mode 
most of the time (which makes the only task automatically reach 100%). But the 
progress bar also drains my battery in ca. 40 minutes and makes the CPU fan go 
haywire => it seems to be hideously inefficient.

Title:
  Thunderbird: high CPU usage from progress bars

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird:
  Confirmed
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

  When sending a simple and short email with Thunderbird via SMTP the
  CPU is used intensively. This seems not to be necessary. If the
  sending failed and an corresponding error message dialog appears, the
  CPU is still being used. When pressing ok to close the error dialog
  the CPU is fine. This suggests it might be related specifically to the
  progress bar.  Such behavior is especially annoying on a laptop where
  you can hear the CPU usage because of a starting fan.
