Thunderbird 45.5.1 crashes on 'News & Blogs' (Linux)

[udovdh]

Hello,

On my Fedora 24 box, my Thunderbird 45.5.1 crashes on 'News & Blogs' items. (did not do this before)
When I remove these items Thunderbird runs OK.
Safe mode does not fix this.
Is this a known bug?
How can I fix this?

During my attempts bugreports were sent to mozilla.

Crash reports or bug reports? Can you provide a link?

I have no problem using 45.5.1 on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS

These were the automagic things that happen when Thunderbird crashes.
I posted a typical stackdump.
