Release 38 was pushed to my computer 3 days ago. The computer now freezes every time I hit "Get messages." Every time. My business has ground to a halt.

Chosen solution

Hardware acceleration has been disabled and notifications have been re-enabled. Thunderbird (and the computer) are not freezing.
