Thunderbird gets stuck, reboot is needed?
Using Thunderbird for mail and usenet, but since a few days, it gets stuck for minutes when connecting the news server, to end with a timeout error. The problem cannot be solved by restarting thunderbird, it really needs a reboot, after which thunderbird works as expected for a couple of minutes, and then it gets stuck again, until reboot.
When starting from command line, I see the following error messages:
[calBackendLoader] Using Thunderbird's libical backend [LDAPModuleLoader] Using LDAPDirectory.jsm [MsgSendModuleLoader] Using MessageSend.jsm [SmtpModuleLoader] Using SmtpService.jsm JavaScript error: undefined, line 0: Error: An unexpected error occurred console.debug: "Successfully loaded OpenPGP library librnp.so version 0.15.2+git20210806.dd923a4e.MZLA from /usr/lib/thunderbird/librnp.so" console.debug: "Found 0 public keys and 0 secret keys (0 protected, 0 unprotected)" console.debug: "Successfully loaded optional OpenPGP library libgpgme.so.11 from system's standard library locations" console.debug: "gpgme version: 1.13.1-unknown" console.warn: services.settings: thunderbird/hijack-blocklists has signature disabled console.debug: "Trying to load /usr/lib/thunderbird/libotr.so" console.debug: "Trying to load libotr.so from system's standard library locations" console.debug: "Trying to load libotr.so.5 from system's standard library locations" console.debug: "Trying to load libotr.so from system's standard library locations" console.log: (new Error("Cannot load required OTR library", "resource:///modules/OTRLib.jsm", 109))
What is going on here?
(Running thunderbird 91.5.0 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS)

Hello there eezaque.
your System needs a reboot for Thunderbird.
What update was it?
JavaScript error: undefined, line 0: Error: An unexpected error occurred It s not a function that is having a error. Most of the people do not understand this problem called error.
Hopely helps this little text down below? It s a sort of refresh for all behaviors that seems around this message send options. Called a re -indexing. Try to read this form
First Quit Thunderbird. Locate the global-messages-db. sqlite file in your Thunderbird Profile. Delete the global-messages-db. sqlite file. Start Thunderbird. The re-indexing process will start automatically.

The problem is caused by protonvpn: either protonvpn has blocked my mail server, or my isp has blocked usenet through protonmail, since a week...
Hello there gain eezacque
Oké protonvpn.
You have turned that off or deleted that piece of software?
Then the issue was solved?
Oké deleting was oke for it.
If you had followed these steps below mentioned earlier. It wouldn’t harm your system at all it s good to refresh sometimes.
