Plague of Duplicate Messages

I-Thunderbird Crashing and slow performance
Alan

Hello,

I was composing a message in TB 159.0 when a shower of duplicate messages appeared. Each message in the central pane was present eight or ten times. In my Tools menu I have an option to Remove Duplicates, I think it's an extension I installed years ago but I can't remember clearly. When I ran it a popup appeared telling me no duplicates could be found, which is ridiculous.

I restored my profile from backup and the problem went away.

I would like to know how I can avoid this issue in the future and, if it happens again, how I can eliminate the duplicates,

Alan.
