Thunderbird using 100% CPU on newly installed ArcaOS 5.0.6
Dave Yeo:
A couple of other things to try. First try starting Thunderbird up in safe mode. Should be an icon under Programs-->Installed Software-->Thunderbird.
If that doesn't work, try minimizing it, wait for a couple of minutes and restoring it.
If that doesn't work, make sure you have a good backup of your profile, and try deleting all the msf files in your profile. They'll get recreated as you touch folders in Thunderbird. One drawback of this method is that if you haven't compacted your folders lately, deleted and filtered messages will return.
When moving a profile, you should always compact all folders first.

Thunderbird with one CPU has always run OK for me. I looked at the Activity Monitor under Tools, but nothing shows up when the Thunderbird process goes to 100%.

Same behavior for both.

I haven't tried this yet, but only the InBox needs to be compressed from time to time. I did delete the two cache folders, but that didn't resolve. I haven't done anything with the startupcache folder, yet. I'll try deleting the msf files, but that will have to wait for another day. If that doesn't work, I may try removing the old profile and start Thunderbird with nothing so a new one will be created, and then drop the mail folders and address book into the newly created profile.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Dave Yeo:
Deleting the startupcache shouldn't hurt. Unluckily profile corruption is a weakness of the Mozilla apps and sometimes starting over is about all you can do. You might want to restore your original zip again just in case, otherwise a new profile is likely best.
Bennie Nelson:
I decided to leave Thunderbird off and start Firefox, leaving it running at the start up page. Firefox also uses 100% of the CPU. So this issue is common to the Mozilla packages.
Bennie Nelson:
I confirmed the Firefox behavior on a different VM running ArcaOS 5.0.6. Thunderbird has never been started on the second one, so it's definitely something that is common to the two Mozilla packages.
