Hallo Carsten,

I tried all you wrote without success. If cert9.db and logins.json removed all password-entries and so on must reenter (you warn for that)  but by reenter none lines added in saved passwords.

O.K.  I must work and moved the old profile to a virtual machine and begin with a blank profile on the problem-machine. So I recreate all mailboxes, calendars, certificates step by step by coping settings  and passwords from the virtual machine. The gpg-keys I must import from a third machine. Now I can work again.

On the third machine with a similar setup the upgrade from 102 to 115 make no problems. So I can't say what is the causal effect and we can close the bug.

with regards

thank you for your answer.
Unfortunately deleting and/or change primary password give no success.

On javaconsole I see a difference:

Every time I start without --safe-mode encrypted-openpgp-passphrase.txt renamed to encrypted-openpgp-passphrase.txt-1.corrupt, encrypted-openpgp-passphrase.txt-2.corrupt and so on.

All extensions I deleted an purged thunderbird-l10n-de, but just the same result.

you can try to stop Thunderbird, backup the file key4.db from your profile folder, than remove that file and restart Thunderbird.

Thunderbird will create a new file and you should be able to set again a new master password.
Other possible corrupted files are cert9.db and logins.json.
If you remove these files you need to re-add all the passwords and certificates that were used! So be careful.

It's long ago but we did have similar bug report in the past there deleting the key4.db was the solution. But you

As always, please make a backup of your profile folder before doing any modification within the profile folder.
