Olivier, this worked for me. The file which was removed was
~/.thunderbird/2nss1yxl.default/extensions/langpack-en-
g...@thunderbird.mozilla.org.xpi
Strangely, when I open Add-Ons in the newly-working Thunderbird, I still see
English (CA), English (GB) and Français (all marked "Can't be removed").
$ dpkg -l | grep thunderbird
thunderbird 1:78.3.2+build1-0ubuntu1
thunderbird-gnome-support 1:78.3.2+build1-0ubuntu1
thunderbird-locale-en 1:78.3.2+build1-0ubuntu1
thunderbird-locale-en-us 1:78.3.2+build1-0ubuntu1
thunderbird-locale-fr 1:78.3.2+build1-0ubuntu1
As for Andrés, it still worked straight after the upgrade to 20.10, and
stopped working yesterday.
Cheers
John

from desktop GUI it is possible to launch "Compose new message" or "Contacts"
window,
then in "Help" menu select "Restart with add-ons disabled", then the normal
mail/calendar
window opens and functions normally
