Bug#1014638: thunderbird: 1:102.0.1-1 update breaks unser interface - no accounts, emails are shown in main window

[Vincas Dargis]

I have reproduced issue on my Sid virtual machine. I've copied (pre-upgrade) profile from backup, upgraded Thunderbird 
and same issue appeared.


To fix I launched --safe-mode, and selected to reset toolbars and controls. I did not 
check "Disable all addons".

Sadly, --verbose did not produce anything useful to detect what's happening.

I see there's "SenderAddressColumn (disabled)" addon, but I doubt it was enabled before upgrade. Last addon update was 
in 2016.


I blieve what helped is resetting controls via --safe-mode.

have you noticed the suggestions on the Debian wiki?

https://wiki.debian.org/Thunderbird#Bug_Reporting_.2F_Issues

In about 80% of problems some external Add-ons are the root of problems.

Sometimes it's harder to debug and requires the usage of the debugger.


Downgranding to 1:91.11.0-1 is not workaround, as it complains that "You
have launched an older version of Thunderbird".


You can use the CLI option --allow-downgrade to downgrade an existing 
profile.

I've found a fix:

```
thunderbird --safe-mode --jsconsole
```

(--jsconsole probably is not deeded).

In a popup shown, I've selected to "Disable all addons" and "Reset toolbars and controls". Clicking "Make changes and 
restart" made UI work again, even with AppArmor.

Dear Maintainer,

Please see screenshot attached - no account tree is visible after
upgrade.

In settings I do see all accounts set up as it was before though.

AppArmor profile was always enabled, though after seeing this problem
I've disabled AppArmor profile but problem persist.

Downgranding to 1:91.11.0-1 is not workaround, as it complains that "You
