> When activating TB logging it starts cross-writing to/from Firefox!

An accurate response requires knowing exactly what you specified, and where, to create your logging.  But I will try to help -  I have dealt with this in the past.  Disclaimer, it was a long ttime ago, so ... 

Regarding Firefox and log files, assuming Windows:
* Do not specify logging variables as global variables in Windows (you probably didn't, because the wiki page doesn't offer that information) - specify them only in the shell in which you start Thunderbird.
* You may not be able to delete log files that are in use, but you can copy them.  And you might be able rename them. 
* If you still have trouble managing log files, just shut down Firefox.
* In Firefox do about:logging and click "stop logging" - whether this will help or not I am not sure
* Try starting Firefox before you set the Thunderbird variables
