It looks like you might have an old, incompatible version of the enigmail extension installed.
Can you share the output of `apt policy enigmail` ? If you open the extensions settings and check out the details for enigmail, what version is displayed? ** Changed in: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- 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/1846882 Title: Thunderbird crashes when clicking on menu item Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Thunderbird 1:68.1.1+build1-0ubuntu1 On Ubuntu 19.10 fully updated. When writing an email, upon clicking on Enigmail in the menu bar, Thunderbird crashes. I contacted Enigmail’s lead dev about the issue who wrote: "…but even if the crash is initiated by Enigmail, the cause is certainly in Thunderbird. Enigmail is purely JavaScript and XUL - and by definition of the programming languages, these two cannot crash Thunderbird." I tried Thunderbird 68.1.1 from Mozilla’s site, and can’t reproduce the problem with it.
