Hi!
Installed F38 about a week ago from scratch (wayland & GNOME). When I launch Thunderbird the first time at every session it starts as a black screen except for the title bar and then... I believe nothing happens but since I cannot see anything I close it. When I relaunch it everything works normally.
Not really a life threatening situation but I was wondering if it was possible to fix this. Any idea?
Thank you.

Are you running "Thunderbird" or "Thunderbird on Wayland"? If you don't have the second one, try installing it. "thunderbird-wayland" is the package.

Yes! That was exactly the problem. Thank you so much.

Excellent catch! That fixed it for me too. I upgraded from F37 to F38, and it did not require this extra package under F37.
There is probably a bug in the upgrade, as it should install the extra package to fix the problem. However, I cannot find a bugzilla for reporting this issue.
After a clean F38 install, I use Thunderbird while in Wayland and it works normally, without the extra package. I only have thunderbird and thunderbird-librnp-rnp installed.

On F37, I can use either one, but I prefer to use the Wayland option so less things are using XWayland. They both should work on F38 as well. You could file a bug in bugzilla if there isn't already one.
