Thunderbird freezes

[gkraemer]

I just installed the latest updates and the new Thunderbird (115.2.0) now hangs all the time. First it only hang when adding a calendar event and now it always hangs 30 seconds after launching. The only thing I can do is kill the process. Is this a known issue?

I am on Manjaro XFCE but I am using i3 as the window manager.

Running it from a terminal doesn’t show anything interesting:

Is this a known issue?

Well, it would appear so, because another poster just reported a similar thing…

The calendar freezes when subscribing to a network calendar via CALDAV

Since last big Update of Thunderbird the calendars are freezing when subscribing to a network calendar via CALDAV, sometimes just by incident, sometimes if I want to add a new date the calendar/thunderbird freezes. I am using networt calendars with CALDAV. It is interesting that quite no other Linux distribution except Manjaro has integrated the big (unmature) update of Thunderbird.
