I have used Thunderbird with the Lightning addons for a long time with no problems. Since almost 1 month however Thunderbird crashes on launch whenever the Lightning add on is enabled. I restarted Thunderbird in safe mode multiple times and restarted with all add ons disabled. Thudnerbird works fine then. When I enable the addons one by one, Thunderbird keeps working untill the point that I enable Lightning. I have left Thunderbird in it's freeze for an hour, but still there is no way of getting teh program to work again (except restarting with all add ons disabled). I'm using the newest Thunderbird with the newest version of Lightning on a Windows 8 system. I hope you will be able to help me.

This is what the troubleshooting info gives me now with the Lightning add on disabled. Not sure if that is what is necessary though, so I'll try to make a log with the add on enabled next. Hopefully that will be possible since TB isn't accesible with Lightning on.

It is in Dutch though, I hope that won't be too much of a problem?

Thanks for the quick reply. It took me a few hours to get some kind of debugging information, since the crashreporter didn't show any files and doesn't popup after Thunderbird crashes. So I followed the steps from this guide to create a stacktrace outside of TB: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_with_WinDbg

Odd thing is that after I went through the entire debugging process, Thundebird suddenly started working again... Is this because the WinDbg doesn't only create information but also solves problems? I can't find the file created by WinDbg in the temp section, but did manage to create a complete dump via the Task Manager. However I don't think it wise to post it here, since there is a lot of information in it.

Hopefully it won't be necessary to investigate this further and Thunderbird will just keep working with Lightning enabled. Thanks a lot fo ryour help, really appreciate it!

Sometime just the mere restart of thunderbird, or restart in safemode fixes things. So anything is possible. Weird foo.

Thanks for the feedback
