User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/110.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Upgrade: thunderbird:amd64 (1:102.8.0-1deb11u1, 1:102.9.0-1deb11u1)

Actual results:

Using 102.8 I could access the Quick Filter bar by clicking it's button on the Mail-ToolBar, pressing CTRL+Shift+K, or using the Menu, View, Toolbars, Quick Filter Bar. Once displayed filtering works.
After upgrading to 102.9, unable to display Quick-Filter by any method.
My Extensions: Identity Chooser; CardBook.
After disabling above extensions, I can now display the Quick Filter Bar, but it still does not work. I can type into the Quick Filter, but no filtering occurs and the 'Filter messages by:' options do not appear.
Same result after removing all Extensions.
Same result after re-installing Identity Chooser and CardBook.
Launching Thunderbird Troubleshoot Mode (default settings, ext disabled): same result.
Again disable Extensions and Clear Startup Cache: same result.

Expected results:

Anything typed into Quick Filter Bar should filter the displayed folder based on matches to the selected "Filter messages by" buttons ('subject', 'recipients', 'subject', 'body').

Seems Thunderbird has deleted 102.8 from repository.
apt-get -s install thunderbird:amd64=1:102.8.0-1deb11u1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Version '1:102.8.0-1deb11u1' for 'thunderbird' was not found

It's only been ONE DAY. Couldn't have left a downgrade path available for a few days?

The official binaries are currently only from https://thunderbird.net. Can you try one from there?
Any errors in the Error Console (Ctrl + Shift + J)?

Thunderbird console log after failure of Quick Filter
v102.9.0 64bit on Debian 11.6

Errors: attached.
Official: maybe. I try to leave updates to Debian package management. If I wanted to be responsible for manually keeping each and every package up to date, I'd run Windows.

Sorry for the extra files: Save Messages to File not behaving as I would expect: we have to manually expand each error before saving, else only collapsed view is saved.
otherwise, this is same as console-export-2023-3-20_9-35-29.

Seems might be related to CardBook Extension
I installed the Official binaries from thunderbird.net.
Help About says it's the exact same version as from the Debian Repo.
Is this conclusive? Version is uniquely identified by '102.09.0' ? or are there more hidden version suffixes that would differentiate between Binaries from Debian Repo vs Official? If same, then I'll need to go about repairing my Profile (I have 10+ accounts, + local folders).
Started Official Binary:
Added a single account to the new Profile. Quick Filter works.
(though, seems slower to display the Filter By buttons, perhaps still busy indexing, or just 'cause I'm watching it closer).
Added Extension Identity Chooser: Quick Filter still works.
Added Extension CardBook: CardBook fails to complete it's welcome interview: Gets stuck on the first (informational) page. 'Next' button does nothing.
Disable CardBook Extension: Quick Filter still works.

Unfortunately there may be (repackaging etc.) differences even if the version is supposed to be the same.

I see the aFilterValue is null error. See bug 1745007 comment 9.

CardBook maintainer published v85.2
I just upgraded a second notebook, also running TB on Debian to v 102.9.0.
All went well with the updated CardBook.
