1534065 - Thunderbird crashes after startup, from bad RSS feed?

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

[Cirno]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; rv:65.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/65.0

Steps to reproduce:

Thunderbird crashes soon after startup. It has been working fine until today.
My crash report ID is bp-1fff8fd5-9131-45b9-9adc-3f8c40190309
I'm running Windows 8.1, Thunderbird 60.5.3

I already tried starting it in safe mode. I checked "Disable addons" but pressing button "Make Changes and Restart" has no effect. Thunderbird starts fine with clean profile though

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start Thunderbird
2. Wait for program to start

Actual results:

Thunderbird crashes and offers to send crash report.

Expected results:

It should start

You are the only one with this crash, so I don't have definitive advice.
Try reinstalling by downloading from gettthunderbird.net.
if that doesn't help, try starting Windows in safe mode.
If that doesn't help, try installing 60.5.2.
Please post your results

Crashes were caused by (broken?) RSS feed. They stopped after deletion of feeds.rdf

The crash has nothing to do with rdf. As a guess based on the crash in image decoder, that feed's favicon was bad, momentarily, and removing the rdf removed it from being rendered in folderpane.
