1236819 - Can just see thunderbird homepage and can't open inbox etc after 38.5.0 upgrade

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1211291

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[henkemartin]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0
Build ID: 20151223140742

Steps to reproduce:

I just started thunderbird.


Actual results:

When starting Thunderbird not the Inbox, but the home page of thunderbird is displayed. From this I can't go to the Inbox or any other folders. Similarly, one can not open any windows as "Settings".
The Inbox can only be opened in a new tab.
This error occured recently to me on two completely independent systems (private and work). 


Version: I guess the latest but I'm not sure because I can't open the "About Thunderbird"-window because of this bug.


Expected results:

Inbox etc. should open normally.

Deleting "Lightning" in safe mode solved the problem.

Bug 1211291?

Anything special about your system? What add-ons do you have installed?

Hi Magnus,

thanks for your reply. Home PC runs with Win 7, PC at work with Win 8.1. Both systems are completely different so I guess it does not depend on the hardware.

Only add-on that was installed was "Lightning" - our Sys Admin at work told me that there were often problems with that add-on, so he deleted it. Now thunderbird runs fine, same for the PC at home.


Kind regards
Martin
