I have the same or a very similar problem, also with Thunderbird 17.06, but using Ubuntu 12.04. I have used Thunderbird under Ubuntu for years but now it crashes immediately, consuming all system resources and forcing me to reboot the machine. I created a new profile for Thunderbird but this only worked for a few minutes before it went the same way. Running Thunderbird with -safe-mode does not help.
The same version of Thunderbird runs fine under Windows... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1184321 Title: thunderbird always crash on startup - user independent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1184321/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
