As soon as I click on the "Write" button, a new window opens, titled "Write: (no subject)". The application becomes unresponsive, then maxes out one CPU core, with RAM usage reaching about 400 MB. I'm forced to end the process. Is this a bad setting, or is this a legitimate bug? Note that I am unable to send the details using the Troubleshooting Information page's "Send via email" button, as this opens the "Write" window, and becomes unresponsive again.

Thank you for your assistance.

Update: If anyone else is experiencing this issue, removing the HTML signatures for each account resolves the problem.

This is the second report I have seen, along with a couple of bug reports. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1481276 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1477582

Perhaps more information on one of the bugs might more them forward.
