Bugzilla

elmhaxx, Here's a link to a test "try" build with the patch to allow a user specified trash folder to remain in effect after a tb restart. I'm assuming that a 64-bit windows version is OK so here is the link to the installer:

https://queue.taskcluster.net/v1/task/SGFoyLjBTvGizBrc1LKA9A/runs/0/artifacts/public/build/install/sea/target.installer.exe

If this is not ok, you can also get a 32-bit version on this page:

https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try-comm-central&collapsedPushes=525525&selectedJob=259862704&revision=2015050efc07206a670a96245dee1dc0de2d9bef

Click on the green B next to "Windows 2012 opt" to select the 32-bit build.  Then when info comes up at the bottom, click on "Job Details". Then scroll down until you find "target.installer.exe" which you can then download. (Note: Ignore the versions that mention debug. I built them by mistake. They will work but are probably larger and slower since they are not optimized. Also, you can access the 64-bit version installer through this page too.)

When you run this Thunderbird version it will indicate that it is "daily" I think, but my patch will be included even though it is not yet been pushed to daily. Let me how it works for you and feel free to share it with others that you mentioned that have this issue.

Edit: Alternatively, I have done this build with the patch applied to ESR60 release. It may be more "stable" than the daily linked above and may work better with any add-ons you may be using:

I didn't include the "debug" versions this time and left out all the unit tests. Again, just click the "B" beside the desired version and down below under "Job Details" find the link for "target.installer.exe" and download it.
