Since upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10 I have been having the problem that Thunderbird crashes 3 or 4 times a day. It is disappointing as I went through the tedious process of migrating from Evolution to Thunderbird as Evolution used to crash repeatedly two or three versions of Ubuntu ago. I have tried to access the information in bug report #1235164 as suggested in the previous comment but when I click on the link I get the message that the page does not exist!! Is it only accessible by certain people as it is listed as 'private'?
