Trying to view a newsgroup crashes Tbird

Post by mjackson »

52.0.1 on Windows 8.1. Problem appeared after latest update, but was initially not consistent - Tbird would occasionally crash when I switched from viewing a mail folder to a newsgroup, but would be OK after a restart. As of tonight, however, it crashes every time I try to switch to a newsgroup. (I use individual.net.) This suggests that some newsgroup-related file has become corrupted. Suggestions for recovery?

Does the same thing occur if you launch the application in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

Have downgraded to 45.8.0, which fixed the problem.
