thunderbird process does not end on exiting the application

[John]

When closing thunderbird, the process does not stop. As a result, when I next attempt to start the process, I have to do manually kill the process in order to reopen thunderbird.

Although this installation was 8 days ago, that was a fresh installation. Since then, I also wiped my .thunderbird folder.

Current Add-ons I have installed are:

Autoarchive 0.2.2*
EDS Contact Integration 0.5
Enigmail 1.4.6**
ExQuilla for Microsoft Exchange 21.0*
Global Menu Bar integration 3.6.4
Messaging Menu and Unity Launcher integration 1.3.1
(More detailed info in Extensions.txt, attached).
Plugins:

DivX (R) Web Player 1.4.0.233
iTunes Application Detector
QuickTiem Plug-in 7.6.6
Shockwave Flash 11,2,202,297
VLC Multimedia Plugin (compatible Videos 3.6.3)
Windows Media Player Plug-in 10 (compatible; Videos)

Before you ask, I didn't install most of this. The only add-ons I have installed personally, that were not already there are labelled with an asterix.
**Installed from Ubuntu repository, NOT Mozilla.

Of course, the bug may well be in an add-on, but similar problems seem to have been reported in the past regarding other add-ons, but as they are separate, I would suspect a bug within thunderbird itself.

John O,
Do you still see this problem?

[gf (gf-interlinks-deactivatedaccount)]

Hello John,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2013 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect BUGNUMBER

and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

G
