Thunderbird crashes when added to list of startup applications
- Login o registrati per inviare commenti
I have Thunderbird installed and added to the list of startup applications so it runs automatically when I log in, but it crashes after a few seconds. This only happens when it gets launched automatically on login; if I run it manually, it's fine.

I can't imagine why you would want to waste your ram like that but anyway, you can try set it to launch a couple of seconds after login like this:
bash -c "sleep 5; thunderbird"

Perhaps you should place it last on the startup apps.

Place t-bird last or put the 'sleep' command in as suggested above. It
must be trying to load before something is ready, or something else is
trying to load before t-bird is fully started. It had never occurred to
put an app like this in startup.
I did the 'sleep 5' thing as teodorescup suggested, but it still crashes. This is the crash report it generated:

I was unable to replicate your problem even without the delay.
Thunderbird at log in seems to work fine in xfce, lxde and kde on Toutatis.
You can try to disable all extensions and test by enabling one by one to find which one might cause the problem.
You can also consider testing with a new profile [1].

I'm running XFCE. I keep thunderbird open at all times and therefore it boots at restarts too.
I haven't had any issues.
I'd suggest trying to recreate the problem in another desktop environment and see if it's specific to your desktop environment.
