Steps to reproduce:
I protected the passwords of my mailboxes with Thunderbirds main password (Thunderbird is then asking for the main password displaying a password dialog windows on every startup).
I terminated Thunderbird an a Mac by pressing Cmd-q or choosing "Quit" from Thunderbirds main menu while the password dialog was still displayed (before aborting the dialog or entering a password).
Actual results:
The password dialog disappears after pressing Cmd-q or choosing "Quit" from Thunderbirds main menu, but Thunderbirds main process does not terminate then. The process is still in the process list. The process is also visible in Macs process windows viewable by pressing Cmd-Tab. When Thunderbird is selected after pressing Cmd-Tab, no active menu, no password dialog nor the main window is displayed.
Thunderbird can not be started again using icons from the dock or via search or terminal or finder, when it in this state. The process has to be ended via a kill command using a terminal windows or the Mac has to be restarted.
Expected results:
Thunderbird should terminate on a Mac when you press Cmd-q or "Quit" from the menu even if the password protection dialog is displayed.

This bug was "kind of" fixed with Supernova Thunderbird 115.x.x. At least ... a blocked process is not possible anymore.
Thunderbird cannot be terminated using "Quit Thunderbird" from the main menu or by pressing Cmd-Q anymore when displaying its password protection dialog box. Instead its ignoring all termination commands and stays open. You need to cancel the dialog box or you need to sign in to start Thunderbird, before you can terminate Thunderbird.
This new behavior is NOT what user expect. Thunderbird needs to terminate while the main menu is displaying the "Quit Thunderbird"-Option and it has to react to a Cmd-Q even when it's only displaying the password protection dialog box.

You are using a non-English version of Thunderbird? If so, cmd-q is a localization issue covered under another bug.

In bug 1524247 you wrote "Set a master password, restart TB, don't enter a password, when asked and quit TB from the menu.
Then try to restart it (it won't, because the process is still running in the background and need to be kill manually via terminal)."
Please repeat, but give it 2-4 minutes to time out and crash. What crash report ID is recorded in Help > Troubleshooting information?
