After investigating this, I conclude the following: It looks like many TB91 locale versions except `en-US` seem to create (broken?) profiles, where no default dictionary is installed. And this causes all sorts of errors coming from the spell checker. I was able to verify this broken behavior for Linux 64-bit, `en-GB` and `de` locale versions of Thunderbird. STR: 1. Download https://download.mozilla.org/?product=thunderbird-91.0.1-SSL&os=linux64&lang=en-GB 2. Start with a fresh profile 3. Enter your account information in the first-run setup wizard 4. Write a new message -> see an error on the console related to spell checker 5. Install a dictionary 6. Write a new message -> no more errors on the console related to spell checker There are multiple issues related to this and for me they all went away after installing a dictionary. Before asking someone to fix this, could everybody who is affected confirm that this is the root cause for all of these issues, and that they go away if a dictionary is installed?
