TB 91.1.2 Win hangs and memory spike when accessing Tools > Preferences
I've had an issue with Thunderbird where anytime I try and access the Preferences (Tools > Preferences (Options), my memory spikes to 90%+ usage (5GB ram) and doesnt respond.
It's really strange, everything else works fine. Browsing the inbox, viewing / sending emails, the account settings works, I can add / remove accounts but anytime I go to the Preferences, it doesnt respond and Memory climbs to 5GB used (see attached image).
Thunderbird on the inbox idles at 600MB
Going to safe mode allows me to edit the settings just fine, it is just when in normal mode where it spikes.
Thunderbird is on the latest version (91.1.2) (64bit) and the PC is up to date on Windows and has been restarted since occurring.

Do you have a language pack? They are known to cause such problems in 91. All add-ons, including language packs, are disabled in safe/troubleshoot mode.
Thank you, removing the additional language packs and dictionaries seemed to have resolved the issue. I have also now updated to 91.2.1 as well.

Same problem with 91.2.1
I wonder why this problem only seems to show up on 11.6.1 and not on 10.15.7 running the same 91.2.1 TB
- JOOP!
TB 91.3 brings no relief: had to kill it.
- JOOP!
Moreover, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1352718 shows that the problem is OS-independent.
- JOOP!
Fixed in TB 91.4.0
