Upgrade to Thunderbird 78.0 resulted in a blank email screen (fixed)
Upgrading to Thunderbird version 78.0 from version 68.10 (using PatchMyPC) resulted on my three PCs in a blank email screen. All emails are still listed but when I tried to read any email, then the email was blank. The to, from and subject textboxes are not there and the email text is also not visible.
The solution is to restart Thunderbird in save mode. For this goto 'Help' and then select 'Restart with add-ons disabled'. Click on restart when it asks you if you are sure. Then another popup window appears and you have to tick the two options here. These are 'disable all add ons' and 'Reset toolbars and controls' and then click on 'make changes and restart'. After this the issue is solved. I had as far as I know no add-ons nor toolbars added to Thunderbird but in case you had, you might want to try to add these back one by one.

I had the same problem on 78.0.1 x64 on Windows 10 2004. "Disable all add-ons" made no difference (I have no add-ons). "Reset toolbars and controls" resolved the problem.
I'm happy again.
