Re: Thunderbird randomly segfaults at startup

I haven't seen this, but I'm curious if it has something to do with your configuration. What I would suggest trying is working from a clean config.

          mv ~/.thunderbird ~/.thunderbird.backup

Try it like that. If it starts correctly, then it is your config and you'll probably have to recreate your config to make it work. If it doesn't, then rename .thunderbird.config back to .thunderbird. No harm done.

You can also install the latest version of thunderbird from Mozilla.org and install it in /opt or /usr/local or where ever you are comfortable.

Anyone else seeing this? This is happening on a straight "Desktop" install of CentOS 6.6 fully updated. I have made no changes other than installing Thunderbird. Thunderbird will occasionally (10 to 20% of the time) fail to start, and the abrt report indicates a signal 11 (SIGSEGV). I don't see
any other reports of this. Is no one using Thunderbird these days?

Do abrt reports submitted from CentOS go anywhere useful these days? I
saw some discussion a while back, but don't recall the results. Should
I submit one?

Another data point: If I install CentOS 6.6 from the distribution ISO and do _not_ do an update, Thunderbird seems to start reliably -- 100 starts and no failures. As soon as I install the current set of updates, it starts
failing.
