I've experienced this same crash with Thunderbird 60.5.1 from the mozilla team's ppa on Ubuntu 18.10.
In my case, I had to first add a mail account and when autoconfiguration was complete and I hit done/continue thunderbird crashes. Any subsequent launches result in a crash until the cache+profile is removed (I'm not sure if removing both is necessary but it works). un-setting GTK_USE_PORTAL and then launching thunderbird seems to work (no more crashes). # package details # Package: thunderbird Version: 1:60.5.1+build1-0ubuntu0.18.10.1~mt1 Priority: optional Section: mail Maintainer: Ubuntu Mozilla Team <ubuntu-mozillat...@lists.ubuntu.com> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1813471 Title: Thunderbird crashes with GTK_USE_PORTAL environment variable.
