Hello, my Thunderbird frequently crashes, but I only seem to get the notice when I attempt to close out of TB.

Looking through the different Crash Reports, I see they all have the same Crash Reason: Crash Reason EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ.

I am ready to provide any further details you may need to help me identify the problem. I have been allowing the crash reports to be submitted to you when they happen.
