A segmentation fault occurs on running thunderbird-0:146.0.1-3.fc42.x86_64. This has occurred since the first update to 146 and hasn't been fixed with recent patches. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Type thunderbird at the console or use the GUI menu Actual Results: Thunderbird does not start. Console reports "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". No data is lost. Expected Results: Thunderbird starts and works ok. Additional Information: This occurs on two different machines running Workstation and KDE. Both machines are essentially stock with minimal customisation. There are no add-ons or extensions to Thunderbird. The mail profiles are stored on a remote NAS, accessed by automounting the CIFS share with systemd. Downgrading to thunderbird-0:128.8-1.fc42 works. Stack trace and plugin info will be attached.

From forum thread: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/thunderbird-crashes-on-x86-64-even-after-the-update-to-thunderbird-0-146-0-1-3-fc42-x86-64/179581/4 I wondered if this might be caused by the NVIDIA proprietary driver, but Stu tried with nouveau and it's still crashing.
Tested again with new version 147.0-6.fc42. No joy, same problem exists.
The issue is due to the mail profiles being stored on a remote NAS file share. Using a local mail profile works OK and doesn't cause the segfault. The remote file share is mounted using systemd. Remote profiles have always worked previously and only broke with the recent update to version 146. Hoping this can be fixed please. Here's an example of my Thunderbird .profile [Profile0] Name=My_email IsRelative=0 Path=/home/stu/remoteshare/email/xxxxxxxx.default-esr Default=1 Here is an example of the mount file at /etc/systemd/system/home-stu-remoteshare.mount [Unit] Description=mounting remoteshare folder on NAS Requires=network-online.target After=network-online.service [Mount] What=//192.168.xx.xx/homes/remoteshare Where=/home/stu/remoteshare Type=cifs Options=rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,credentials=/home/stu/.credentials [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Here is an example of the automount file at /etc/systemd/system/home-stu-remoteshare.automount [Unit] Description=automount remoteshare folder on NAS Requires=network-online.target After=network-online.service [Automount] Where=/home/stu/remoteshare TimeoutIdleSec=60 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
