Memory leak > Thunderbird 140.12.1esr, even with TB started in Troubleshoot Mode
Hi,
I'm running the latest version of Thunderbird 140.12.1esr on 15.7.7 (24G720) on an M1 processor.
I'm witnessing Memory leak > Thunderbird who usually use 800MB jumps to Gb up to 60Gb
It makes this version unusable.
Here is a loom of the incident: https://www.loom.com/share/0b8e661b42d64d749d80adfd71fd1e04
+ a screenshot
Anyone can help ?

Did the problem occur in 140.12.1esr, which you mentioned in your first message?
Yes, I've updated with 152.0.1 , same issue.
I have 140.12.1esr running on an M1 Mac with macOS 15.7.7. I do not have this problem. So I assume that there is something unusual in your system.
You already know that the problem occurs in troubleshooting mode.
The next thing that I would try is running the Mac in safe mode. See if the problem occurs then.
Then I might try, without optimism, uninstalling Thunderbird (the app, not your profiles), and re-installing it. Re-installing fixes problems only very rarely. It may be worth trying in this case.
Sometimes we technical people can push our systems into difficulty. What's unusual about your system?
