Skipped adding account. Went to preferences and set options then closed. Clicked chat tab. Saw notification on bottom of TB about "Lightning" and clicked learn more, then disable. That required restart. Actual results: Upon TB re-open, the "would you like a new email address" dialog is open in center of app, and neither the skip this or configure later buttons work when clicking, even though hover effects work. The chat tab is active in the background behind the new email address dialog. I cannot get rid of the new email address dialog. Perhaps because of there being buttons behind the dialog in the chat tab? Expected results: Either of the skip this or configure later buttons should work, or be able to close that dialog, but there is no close option, and cannot click anywhere else. So... I'm stuck.

Perhaps someone on Mac can That said, Thunderbird being a mail client, it is understandable to prompt the user after startup to add an account if none exists. To get in this situation, a use rmust have bypassed adding a mail account on startup, but did add a chat account.

I uninstalled Thunderbird (also removing the user/library/Thunderbird directory) and re-installed fresh. I again skipped the new email dialog, set preferences again, and this time customized the tabs bar removing the Chat tab since I do not plan on using that, then clicked the disable Lighting again and restarted Thunderbird. The same interface blocking happened again. So it does not matter if Chat tab is there or not. The interface is completely unusable with the new account dialog open. No link or button clicks work other than the checkbox next to the gandi.net provider and the terms and privacy links. User is completely unable to use Thunderbird at this point.

Lately I've been testing through all intermediate versions from TB 45.x to actually TB 45.7.0, TB 51.0b2, Earlybird 53.0a2 and Daily 54.0a1. I just re-tested TB 45.7.0 and TB 52.0a2 in new profiles, skipped adding account, modified some preferences, opened the "Chat" tab, then disabled Lightning and restarted TB. At any given moment and on each restart, even if the "Chat" tab is active on restart, the "skip this" and the "configure my account later" buttons both do work and I'm able to either create an account or choose "configure my account later".

Comment 1 and 5 seem to confirm this and I don't recall any such behaviour. If possible, you could try to restart with an attached error console to see if there are any error logged even if you cannot access the error console otherwise.

In my first comment (#5) I had reported that I could not reproduce the reported issue in a new profile. This time I tested my existing profiles and could reproduce the issue in three of five profiles: in the faulty profiles going to menu File > New > Get a New Mail Account... (or clicking on "Email" beyond "Create a new account" in the Account Central Grid) would open an unresponsive drop-down window "Would you like a new email address" with no username filled in the upper field such as shown in attachment 8794558. The same issue was reproduced in Thunderbird safe mode. The Error Console shows the following warning: SecurityError: The operation is insecure. accountProvisioner.js:254 EAP_init chrome://messenger/content/newmailaccount/accountProvisioner.js:254:16 NewMailAccountProvisioner chrome://messenger/content/accountUtils.js:415:3 CreateNewAccountTB chrome://messenger/content/msgAccountCentral.js:291:9 onclick chrome://messenger/content/msgAccountCentral.xul:1:1 Finally I had a look into the Thunderbird > Preferences > (Tools > Options for Windows users) and found that the faulty profiles had the option "Accept copies from sites" un-checked under "Privacy". As soon as I activated this option, the drop-down window "Would you like a new email address" would open with the username filled in and with buttons being responsive again. I’m not sure whether this is a bug or a feature....

Checking Add-ons, I see that Lightning is Enabled (but I don't use it), and Manually sort folders is enabled and used. It happened when clicking on an existing account to get the settings, then "Create a new account" -> "Email". Had to close TB. Workaround was to go via "View settings for this account" -> Account actions -> Add another account.
