Description of problem: Can't open Thunderbird at all. It sends me right to Mozilla's Crash Reporter. When pressing "Restart Thunderbird" it shows again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): thunderbird-38.6.0-3.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Thunderbird. Crash Reporter shows up. 2. Press "Restart Thunderbird". Crash Reporter comes back. 3. Actual results: Crash Reporter loop Expected results: Mozilla Crash Reporter shows up. Additional info: I don't know how to disable Mozilla's Crash Reporter so that ABRT picks the error up.
Please try: 1) run thunderbird in safe mode ($thunderbird -safe-mode) 2) create a fresh new profile ($thunderbird -ProfileManager) 3) obtain a backtrace and attach it here (how-to is at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Debugging_guidelines_for_Mozilla_products#Application_crash)
Martin: Thank you very much for the steps. I can tell you the following: 1) Running in safe mode works. No Crash Report, no issues whatsoever. 2) On gdb run, i get the following: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread 0x7fffbee38700 (LWP 10674)] findElementWithHash (pH=pH@entry=0x7fffc4117698, pKey=pKey@entry=0x7fffc12c95a2 "TRACKER", pHash=pHash@entry=0x7fffbee37764) at sqlite3.c:26813 26813 if( sqlite3StrICmp(elem->pKey,pKey)==0 ){ I followed the steps of the guideline you indicated, and I'm attaching the crash_bt result.

When it works in safe mode it means that some of your extension causes such crash. I recommend you to disable your extensions (in the safe mode) and enable them one by one and see which one causes the problem. Then report the broken extension to its author.
OK. I reset the profile (rm -rf .thunderbird), uninstalled the tracker-thunderbird-plugin-1.6.1-1.fc23.x86_64 package and started Thunderbird in normal mode. It works now.
