D-Bus (and its various dependencies) were updated from 1.12.0-1 to 1.12.2-1, libgtk-3 from 3.22.25-1 to 3.22.26-1 and libdrm-{intel,amd,common} from 2.4.85-1 to 2.4.88-1. So no major updates. And yes, I did restart after installing those updates. I'm using i3 4.14.1-1 with xorg-server 2:1.19.5-1 on an Intel graphics chip. > You can also use 'thunderbird --verbose' to see a bit more messages what > the wrapper script is doing or try to do. The output of thunderbird --verbose was not very helpful: $ thunderbird --verbose INFO -> [[ ... using verbose mode ... ]] DEBUG -> call '/usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird ' No protocol specified Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Error: cannot open display: :0 But, looking through the man page, I found the run-mozilla.sh script for debugging: $ /usr/lib/thunderbird/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin [calBackendLoader] Using Thunderbird's builtin libical backend messenger.groupdav.overlay.js: failed to include 'chrome://sogo-connector/content/general/vcards.utils.js' SyntaxError: redeclaration of let _insertCardMethods File: chrome://sogo-connector/content/general/vcards.utils.js Line: 1 Stack: @chrome://sogo-connector/content/general/vcards.utils.js:1:1 jsInclude@chrome://sogo-connector/content/addressbook/messenger.groupdav.overlay.js:26:13 @chrome://sogo-connector/content/addressbook/messenger.groupdav.overlay.js:37:1 startup from sogo-connector *** new sync: 1 1/sync with https://example.com/remote.php/carddav/addressbooks/jh/contacts/... exception getting pref 'extensions.ca.inverse.addressbook.groupdav.ldap_2.servers.pab.url': [Exception...

Also, directly running /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin works, too! Which is really weird because /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird and /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin are the same, but only the latter one can connect to the X server. $ sha256sum /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird* 126efa3f01f0d86c9d97702a90f163013ad1667e1a326fd193d61c72e034584e /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird 126efa3f01f0d86c9d97702a90f163013ad1667e1a326fd193d61c72e034584e /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin a3f9e5f5820436e7205a0223ce6a7dee89b30bcf626e6de92f43fee4a2c87b24 /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird-wrapper-helper.sh $ ls -l /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 126040 Oct 17 18:20 /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 126040 Oct 17 18:20 /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14545 Oct 7 11:35 /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird-wrapper-helper.sh What could be the difference between thunderbird and thunderbird-bin?
