When thunderbird was updated to version 60 I was no longer able to start it. I am running stock thunderbird on an Acer chromebook r13 running archlinux that until that point has worked without any problems using the recommended install method from the archlinuxarm web pages.
It simply segfaults and core dumps:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
$ /usr/bin/thunderbird
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
')
I did find a comment in a report at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1461041#c1 which has a comment about thunderbird failing to start on aarch64 from the original reporter on that bug reort:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
I have stumbled on to a fix. By removing the "-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks" compiler flag Firefox 60 ESR does not crash on AArch64 machine. Can a developer look into this? And is this bug related to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1459602 ? It is showing the exact same crash results.
')
Does anyone know of a workaround for this until it is fixed in the stock package?
