Upgraded to version 91.2.1 from an earlier version today and on both my computers launching the preferences from the tools menu causes thunderbird to freeze and then I have to end the process. Is this a known issue as it's happened to me on two separate Windows versions (10 and 11)?

Chosen solution

Does it freeze in safe/troubleshoot mode (hold Shift when launching TB)?

Do you have any language packs? They are known to cause issues like this.

I also had this problem. Although Thunderbird was a bit tricky to get into safe mode, I figured it out. Then, without any add-ons being turned on, the problem went away. Upon further investigation and review of another posting, I removed the US language pack and restored Thunderbird to regular operations and the problem has been resolved. Thanks for the solution!
