Thank you for your answer Wayne. I already tried the safe mode, but that does not help.

Hi Wayne,

Sorry for the delay. Please tell us, are you still crashing??

Most of the crash are @ OOM | large | mozalloc_abort | moz_xmalloc | xul.dll

And I just realized all of those crashes have uptime of 3 minutes 30 seconds. Only a few have different uptimes, like OOM | small which are on the order of 4 minutes or 4 minutes 30 seconds https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/0c2f0fa4-8831-49d5-96c8-9a4590210118#tab-details

My initial guess, not that I'm confident about, is this is caused by antivirus. Are you running anything other than Windows Defender?

Considerable similarity to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1330034 which is shaping up to be, perhaps, Bitdefender

Hi Wayne,

I am not running any antivirus software except the one which is standard installed by Microsoft Windows 10. The crash problem still exists. I hope you can help me, because I cannot work anymore with Thunderbird and I need it every day. Now I am using the web email application, but that has not the functionality of Thunderbird.

Thanks for your continued support,

Bye, Huib.

@hpapenhu are you still crashing?

Yes unfortunately Thunderbird is still crashing. So I decided to transfer to eM Client. That works fine. My emails and contacts from Thunderbird are all recovered through eM Client. It is a pity that Thunderbird does not work anymore.
