It could be that an extension became outdated with the last TB update.
When I launch TB in the "safe mode", in which the add-ons are not active, the problem still exists. Is this what you mean?
And only when there was an auto extension update check did things go wrong. I have had this happen. It got so bad with broken extensions that I could not remove that I finally (yesterday) recreated my whole TB setup, then moved my folders, filters, and stuff like that over to the new setup.
How did you do that, recreating your TB setup?
You rename your Thunderbird directory. I think the default is somewhere around ~/.mozilla
Start TB and it will create a whole new directory structure. Configure your account and soforth. then shutdown TB, copy over your mail directories, filters, address book, sigs and restart. There will be a little more config fixing, and you have a 'clean' setup with just your data.
