Problems with Thunderbird - locks up the OS
Asked by
tadiv
For years I have used Thunderbird as my email client. In the last few weeks, it has started to lockup the OS. The only thing that seems to work is the mouse pointer still moves around the screen, but I can't select anything, change active windows, select any menu items - nothing. The emergency R E I S U B keystrokes don't work (no keyboard actions work) - I have to cycle power on the machine to get it back working, and of course, the OS does not like that (drive errors repaired on reboot)...
Firefox is also crashing, but those crashes seem to be mostly recoverable with a soft reboot.
Is there something I can do to resolve these issues with these two Mozilla products?
