Thunderbird freezes saving attachments on MacOS Mojave

Hi folks:

Upgraded to MacOS Mojave and now Thunderbird is freezing when saving attachments.

Specifically, if I try to change the save directory or the filename of the attachment being saved (in the save window) Thunderbird freezes. I can sometimes save from the save window if I don't change the directory or filename.

Normally I'd expect this is some of the new permissions/restrictions in Mojave on applications, except that the error is reliable only if I try to make changes in the dialog window, which suggests instead some form of bug or some config error due to the upgrade.

Thanks!

No problems in sending that I've encountered.

This should be fixed in version 60, which you can get from https://getthunderbird.com

Can you confirm it is fixed?
