After I was update my Thunderbird to 78 the program is useless. I have 1600 contacts and every time I was open the contacts or write an email the software is frozen. After I remove my history.sqlite (my contacts) the Thunderbird work fine.

Before the update I used Thunderbird 68.11 I have for mail accounts and all of them IMAP. I use the default contacts manager and I don't have add-ons.

Windows 10 2004 Thunderbird 78.1.1
