Thunderbird keeps crashing randomly, crash report mentions mwsock.dll, but am clueless on how to fix it
hi, thunderbird crashes randomly on one of my installs ... the crashes are random and could occur seconds or hours in between ... here is a sample crash report: (p.s. disabled the testpilot addon after the crash, but the problem persisted)

Are you on versoin 52?
nope, wanted to avoid an update as other machines are on the same version, but if thats the only way it out, i'll try updating and get back to you
thanks, ranjit

Another possibility is mwsock.dll is infected. See https://www.file.net/process/mswsock.dll.html
aha! thanks ... will try this first thing tomorrow
hi wayne,
replacing mwsock.dll didn't work and we finally got a chance to format the machine and upgrade to thunderbird 52.
but, thunderbird again started crashing and mswsock.dll is the only dll mentioned in the new crash report as well -> https://pastebin.com/8eaUgXnc
the new crash report also mentioned lightning, which we then removed but the crash continued.
any clue?
