I tried by now different versions: First I downgraded thunderbird to version "11.01.1" what ever that have been ment, but didn't worked anyway. Same crash. However, it seemed that the crash was delayed a bit when a fresh profile (deleted .thunderbird) was used.
Second I tried the mozilla team's ppa: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/thunderbird-stable providing a 15.0.1 version. Which did also crash. Third, I though that maybe a dependency has not installed properly so I reinstall each dependency this way: sudo apt-get install --reinstall `echo "gconf-service, libasound2 (>= 1.0.23), libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.12.4), libc6 (>= 2.15), libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4), libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.0.2), libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.78), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.8.0), libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libgconf-2-4 (>= 2.31.1), libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.31.8), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.24.0), libnotify4 (>= 0.7.0), libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0), libstartup-notification0 (>= 0.8), libstdc++6 (>= 4.6), libx11-6, libxext6, libxrender1, libxt6" | sed 's/([^)]\+)//g' | tr "," " "` However, this wasn't a success either. Fourth, I runned the thunderbird within debug mode: "thunderbird -g" + "run" Bingo: (gdb) where #0 0x000000000040aa33 in ??

() The stack trace gave me the hint to some ldap issues, and yes today I changed my nsswitch.conf to query ldap before dns for some names: hosts: files ldap mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 But this trick seems to confuse thunderbird, maybe I should submit a bug report, to mozilla. I've changed this ldap stuff back and now thunderbird works for me again. Hope those attempts may be useful to others. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1053297 Title: Thunderbird crashes Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: It's the bug that i reported an hour ago.
