Startup swamps and stalls
OSX 12.7.4
I upgraded to 115.9.0 to get OAuth for some, but not all, accounts. Those on Gmail & Yahoo are OAuth. I have non-OAuth accounts on a Zimbra server, and on Panix.com.
It prompts for the first account's password. TBird then gobbles all available CPU on the machine, and stays there. If I wait long enough, it becomes usable again, but that may well be hours.
However, once it calms down, it works normally.
Intertwined with this is: TBird rejects the Zimbra passwords as I enter them. I retry and retry, and then they succeed. I know the passwords are correct; I've even typed them out, and then copy&pasted them in. I'm not sure about the Panix account, if its password works the first time or not.
I tried restarting in troubleshooting mode; it made no difference.

If you install the prior release https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/115.8.0/mac/en-US/Thunderbird%20115.8.0.dmg does the problem go away?
