TB 60.6.1 for Mac freezing frequently

I'm running TB 60.6.1 on a Mac with Mojave 10.14.4

Since I updated to 60.6.1, TB freezes frequently - at least once per day, sometimes a few times per day.

I have tried to determine what causes the freeze. At first, it looked like the freezes happened right after an email finished sending. (Not after every email finished sending, but sometimes after emails finish sending.)

But now I don't think that describes what makes TB freeze. It just seems to happen at random times. And it seems to be happening more frequently.

It think this is a bug in 60.6.1 that needs to be fixed.

Thanks Clint

Tried Mac in safe mode? Thunderbird in safe mode?

Hi Wayne. Yes and Yes (to your questions). TB still crashes at least once per day. This started happening shortly after I updated to TB 60.6.1 I suspect there is something buggy in that release.

How about Mac in safe mode, but Thunderbird NOT in safe mode?

I'm pretty sure I have tried every combination of safe mode on/off in Mac and TB, and none of the combinations of safe mode on/off eliminated the problem.

This appears to be a bug that is inherent in TB.
