So nobody is trying to solve it (or bug 1649103).
This is really a bad news.
So Firefox 78 and Thunderbird 78 cannot be sent to production at all.
All my users will stay on 68.9.0 versions without any updates for one year. Or they need to change all their computers to more powerful ones to mitigate this issue. It is quite disappointing.

PS : But what happens when a user goes directly from 68 to 91? At least there will be a problem with migrating address books that have been deleted from newer versions.
