Please, make an update to eradicate that bug. Or can I just go back to the old version?

Several users have found that disabling Thunderbird access of the Mac address book helps. Please try that and report your results.

In Mac System Preferences, type privacy in the search field and open "Privacy Settings", click "Contacts", click the "Lock" to allow changes, uncheck Thunderbird.
