thunderbird startup crash when xul-ext-kwallet5 is installed

[Pablo Hörtner]

After having installed the xul-ext-kwallet5 add-on I was not able of using Thunderbird anymore.

The bug has already been reported on Debian: https://<email address hidden>/msg1513041.html

apt policy xul-ext-kwallet5
xul-ext-kwallet5:
  Installed: 1.0-1
  Candidate: 1.0-1
  Version table:
 *** 1.0-1 500
        500 http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

apt policy thunderbird
thunderbird:
  Installed: 1:45.8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
  Candidate: 1:45.8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
  Version table:

Interestingly, I could not file a bug report using apport because it complains for xul-ext-kwallet5 not being an official KDE package.

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: neon
Description: KDE neon LTS User Edition 5.8
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial

When starting Thunderbird I get the Mozilla Crash Reporter, and the following output is being shown on the commandline:

walletType = "LocalWallet"
Start
walletFolder = "Unknown"
Start
QSettings::value: Empty key passed
QSettings::value: Empty key passed

BTW: Also when reporting this bug directly in launchpad for package xul-ext-kwallet5, it says that it "does not exist in Ubuntu.", while "apt policy" proves the opposite. :-)

Hello RedTux,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird. You made this bug report over a year ago 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?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug?
If you are, 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
