I've recently installed F8 on my new Dell, and I've got a terrible
annoying problem with Thunderbird...
If I launch Thunderbird, it opens fine. Every time I click to open and
read any e-mail message, I get this pop-up Gecko Crashed window, and
Thunderbird crashed back to the X Desktop.
I can fix the problem by yum erase thunderbird, then yum install
thunderbird. It works for ONE time I load thunderbird. As soon as I
close Thunderbird, the problem starts over, and I cannot click to
open/read any e-mail message again until I yum erase thunderbird, and
yum install thunderbird.....!
I've tried:
1. checked all the log files in /var/log, but no errors post when
thunderbird crashes
2. I've Deleted the files in the /tmp folder - no effect
3. I've checked google, and this list and thunderbird's support page -
no help...
4. Interestingly enough, I can send mail, forward mail, reply to
messages without any errors, and after a fresh re-install of
Thunderbird, I can open and read mail without error, but ONLY until I
close thunderbird once. After that, on the 2nd time I open thunderbird
and every time after that, simply clicking to open a message causes
thunderbird to crash with a gecko crash and thunderbird crashes back to
the blank desktop....
My config:
New Dell Optiplex 755 with dual core intel 6750s, 2GB 800mhz. ATI X1650
dual-dvi card with dual monitors,
Running F8 x586 with all the current patches as of 12-20-07, and
Thunderbird 2.0.0.9
