Bug Description

WORKAROUND: thunderbird -safe-mode, Disable messaging menu addon, restart thunderbird

ii thunderbird 11.0~b2+build2-0ubuntu1 Email, RSS and newsgroup client with integrated spam filter
ii xul-ext-lightning 1.3~b1+build1-0ubuntu1 Calendar Extension for Thunderbird

When I started Thunderbird after the beta 2 update, it would not display any of the main content, and I received a bunch of errors about my calendars. Disabling the messaging menu extension returned thunderbird to normal.

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80570015 (NS_ERROR_XPC_CI_RETURNED_FAILURE) [nsIJSCID.createInstance]" nsresult: "0x80570015 (NS_ERROR_XPC_CI_RETURNED_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: resource://calendar/modules/calUtils.jsm -> file:///usr/lib/mozilla/extensions/%7B3550f703-e582-4d05-9a08-453d09bdfdc6%7D/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/calendar-js/calCalendarManager.js :: cmgr_createCalendar :: line 624" data: no]

This is confirmed in a clean profile.

How did you disable the messaging menu extension? the addons settings window doesn't work here either. (i commented on the duplicate by accident sorry).

Same problem as comment #3. I can't even disable the problematic addon(s) because Thunderbird won't open any new tabs and all dialog windows it produces are empty as well. For all intents and purposes it is completely unusable now and I see no way to apply the workaround.

Open a terminal. Type "thunderbird --safe-mode". When Thunderbird opens, go into the Add-on Manager and disable the Messaging Menu add-on.

Actually, this version fixes it:

thunderbird (11.0~b2+build2-0ubuntu3) precise; urgency=low

  * Add a missing file which caused Lightning to break (LP: #933951)
  * Trick the addon manager in to thinking that Lightning has been updated
    when upgrading
    - update debian/thunderbird.postinst.in

But the fact this broke so badly (and doesn't recover without reinstalling lightning) actually appears to be a lightning bug.
