you need to provide details like gdb backtraces, reg dumps or some strace logs, otherwise this report is quite useless

This is the stack trace

You may try to remove /home/c3n21/.thunderbird/xdrrbbz8.default/extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}.xpi

I discovered that it happens only if GTK_USE_PORTAL variable is set to 1.

I have the same problem. Downgrading thunderbird to a previously good version does not help, so it is very likely a problem with another packet that was recently upgraded. Setting or unsetting GTK_USE_PORTAL does not prevent the crash for me.

Running thunderbird in safe-mode also does not help. The profile manager works, but creating a new profile and using it also crashes.

Of note: the last time thunderbird was working normally on my machine i was removing unused add-ons. one of them was for carddav and one was for sieve. maybe there is a problem with a webdav library that is only used for caldav and carddav when no substitute add-on is installed.

here is a chunk of a stacktrace i did with threads visible. to me it seems that the thread with pid …321 is trying to read in a sqlite db (line 9) and then trows a SIGSEGV (line 61)?

downgrading sqlite from 3.31.0-1 => 3.30.1-2 got rid of the segfault for me.
Comment by Darren Allison (dazboa) - Sunday, 26 January 2020, 18:36 GMT
Can confirm downgrade to sqlite 3.30.1-2 fixed issue for me. Thank you hakunamenta.
Comment by Justus Seifert (hakunamenta) - Sunday, 26 January 2020, 18:52 GMT
can someone please update the description with the affected sqlite version (3.31.0-1)?
Comment by Justus Seifert (hakunamenta) - Sunday, 26 January 2020, 19:01 GMT
relevant upstream bug i think: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1611164

@hakunamenta  FS#63842  was filed before sqlite 3.31.0-1 was packaged so the original issue could not be triggered by that.
 FS#65248  covers the issue you are experiencing.
