Description laurent.chrismann 2019-05-13 13:22:20 UTC
Description of problem:
Thunderbird crashes "segmentation fault" when called with -ProfileManager or -P options.
... in fact, the profile manager never starts and you're led back to the terminal prompt.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- Fedora : 5.0.13-300.fc30.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 6 00:39:45 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- Gnome : GNOME Shell 3.32.1
- Thunderbird brought by Fedora updates : 60.6.1 "Daily" channel (packet : thunderbird.x86_64 60.6.1-1.fc30 @fedora)

How reproducible:
In gnome-terminal, launch "thunderbird -ProfileManager"


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
Segmentation fault

Expected results:
Thunderbird's profile manager starts, which allows you to manage several profiles.

Additional info:
- maybe the same as bug #242519 ?
- mozilla support question (asked by me) : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1258982 ; some tests config described there... (profiles.ini, .thunderbird directory, etc.)
- I'm relatively new at Fedora (Linux in general) ; I don't know if it's a Fedora, Linux or Mozilla problem ; however, it seems that the profile manager works with other Linux distros and TB packages (see Mozilla support question and answers : "Vanilla version on openSUSE works fine" and so on...).
