I forgot that you say .msf are now open only once - so I withdraw the question.  But you say "1947 are .msf files".  So you have that many folders?  And surely they are not *all "active"*, i.e. you either click on them, or they get email via a filter, or they aren't part of a frequently used or updated virtual folder?    Do you have any virtual folders that enumarate all or most of your folders?

Regarding .sqlite files being open more than once - it seems to me this would be a core issue, not a Thunderbird bug. So for purposes of this bug report we can ignore sqlite issues.
