As we have pointed out in the tickets related to this issue, the reason
we have not released a fix is because we have not been able to reproduce
the bug, at least based on the information we have. Many users have
reported that they fixed this by creating a new profile and then
installing TorBirdy which leads me to believe that this may be related
to a conflict with some preference we are setting.

To all users who have this issue: try creating a new profile and see if
that works for you? If it does, please comment on the relevant tickets.
Bonus points if there is something on the error console that is worth
looking at (Ctrl+Shift+J).
