@John Vivirto as mentioned above I have build packages according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash, section "Prior Ubuntu versions". I installed the resulting packages. But I do not know if this debug enabled thuinderbird produces crash reports or how to enable crash reports nor where to find these crash reports after the crash.
If you provide me with infos in how to produce a crash report I will provide you with the crash report. Thanx a bundle, Gregor -- Thunderbird crashes soon after startup https://launchpad.net/bugs/91262 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
