Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0 Build ID: 20170518000419 Steps to reproduce: Open a message compose window (cmd+n, cmd+r,...). Actual results: The Window does not respond well. Any changes (including to load the window initially) are only visible, after one changed to another window and back again. The same holds for editing recipients and the message text. Expected results: Any typed text should be visible immediately. The window should load fully.
Does this happen with add-ons disabled? See Help menu.

Right, then you should switch off your add-ons one by one to find the offender.

There are a few: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode The next thing you need to try is to use a new profile. Start Thunderbird with -p and create a new profile. Somehow you got the existing profile into a knot.
