I have posted in #14007, that using a new profile allows Thunderbird to 
load when TorBirdy is enabled (Windows 7). I was unaware of the error 
console feature; I will create another new profile and test as you 
requested, posting any relent info to #14007.

Could you list any and all steps you wish people to do to help you track 
down this issue? I'm more than willing to assist, but I need 
hand-holding to know how to assist.

Also, how about all those tickets get merged into one? It seems not 
helpful to have so many tickets for seemingly the same issue.

#14099
#14130
#14007
#13722
#13982

Thanks Sukhbir, for you efforts and caring! :)
