Thunderbird hangs on exit
Linux 64 version in all cases (TB 37 and TB68.9) Upon exit, the thunderbird task remains an active process for somewhere between 1 and 5 minutes. This always happens if messages are deleted added (downloaded) or the mailboxes are compressed. Bringing up TB, finding no new messages and selecting quit (File->Quit) sometimes does close the thunderbird process. The work around is to manually kill the thunderbird process.

So if you do not do the compact function, then shutdown works fine?
While the compact function will result in the task hanging result, it is not the only way to cause it. Receiving email also result in the hanging task. It's as things which alter the messages such as compression or receiving more messages also results in the hanging situation. If a TB session is used only to view existing messages (no additions, deletions, movement or compression) there won't be a hang.
I am sorry, but the existence of task is not really proof of anything, except that there is no GUI loaded. The task hanging around could have a number of legitimate reasons, not the least of which is indexing of messages to the global index. I see even with a GUI that sometime this can take 5 or 10 minutes per account. The activity manger will report "determining which messages to index" for quite lengthy periods at times.
Thunderbird hangs for awhile. Eventually it crashes after displaying some lines if you invoked it through a command line (and yes, the command thunderbird -p xxx does bring up the GUI). Those behind the scene lines are: WARNING: A completion condition encountered an error while we were spinning the event loop.
