This WFM on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.5pre) Gecko/20100415 Lanikai/3.1b2pre.

Have you tried safe mode? (see https://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode for more information)

I'm fairly sure i did but i will make sure.

Comment 6

running in safe mode does not change this bug

This seems to have been a profile bug but it did take a reinstall of the system or even moving the ~/.thunderbird dir out of $HOME
