I am getting sick and tired of Thunderbird freezing while writing an email, screen graying out, and having to close the program and lose the material without it having been saved in any way. This has been happening for two or three weeks.

Try this:

- go to TB menu > Settings > General

- scroll all the way down and click the 'Config editor' button on the right
- click 'Accept the risk and continue'
- search for accessibility.force_disabled > change the value to 1 > click the check mark
- restart TB

Ed, I did not see any "accept the risk and continue," but I did the search, changed the number to 1, restarted TB, repeated the procedure and saw the number 1 was still showing. Now I'll wait and hope it doesn't freeze again. Thank you for this help. Jonelle
