Thunderbird 1:68.1.1+build1-0ubuntu1 On Ubuntu 19.10 fully updated.
When writing an email, upon clicking on Enigmail in the menu bar, Thunderbird crashes.
I contacted Enigmail’s lead dev about the issue who wrote:
"…but even if the crash is initiated by Enigmail, the cause is
certainly in Thunderbird. Enigmail is purely JavaScript and XUL - and by
definition of the programming languages, these two cannot crash
Thunderbird."
I tried Thunderbird 68.1.1 from Mozilla’s site, and can’t
reproduce the problem with it.
Here is Thunderbird’s log upon crashing:

It looks like you might have an old, incompatible version of the enigmail extension installed.
Can you share the output of `apt policy enigmail` ?
If you open the extensions settings and check out the details for enigmail, what version is displayed?
