Since yesterday my Thunderbird is crashing right after it opens. Just a few seconds after it loads, it crashes and the Mozilla Crash Reporter comes up. I'm on a Mac OS 10.13.6 and have the latest version of Thunderbird.

Crash ID is: bp-9d476fe2-c377-4f9c-9908-b7fa80200924

I just erased all my profile files, trashed the Application that was in my machine and installed a new one from scratch. It worked for a few hours but crashed again. Opening in Safe Mode gives the same result.

It may be sufficient to start once in safe mode to clear the font cache.

Thanks sfhowes, it looks like it solved the problem! I reset the font database and now it doesn't crash anymore.
