I deleted components.ini from my profile (in a vain attempt to get enigmail
working). Thunderbird didn't start after this, instead lots of thunderbird
processes got created and killed after a short time, while consuming 100% CPU.
Because the processed didn't stay long enough for being killed in the task
manager, the only way to get rid of them was rebooting.
Interestingly, just restoring components.ini from the trash bin even during such
a borked start attempt cured it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. delete components.ini from profile directory
2. start thunderbird
3.

Actual Results:  
thunderbird didn't come up.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
