While typing the address in the to: box, thunderbird freezes.

I am on Ubuntu 14-04, thunderbird 31.5.0. The behavior happens periodically and also in safemode. It seems to be when i pause typing and it tries to look up the address in my address book.

It looks like the same issue as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1013192, but that question is closed.

I looked at the question you referenced. Do you have a large address book as 'tektite' did (over 5000)? I can give you a link to the daily version for Ubuntu if you would like to try it. (I run on Ubuntu 14.04 also).
