Thunderbird 45.2.0 hangs up on this script after Windows 10 update

Script: chrome://msktbird/content/mail-msktbird_3.js:566

then had these messages in Error Console

Could not read chrome manifest 'file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Mozilla%20Thunderbird/chrome.manifest'.

Could not read chrome manifest 'jar:file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Mozilla%20Thunderbird/extensions/%7B972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd%7D.xpi!/chrome.manifest'.

While creating services from category 'profile-after-change', could not create service for entry 'Sapi Speech Synth', contract ID '@mozilla.org/synthsapi;1'

then a bunch of these:

Chosen solution

Start Thunderbird in safe mode. REMOVE the McAfee addon from Thunderbird , and henceforth never allow it to be installed. It is unreliable with Thunderbird and not needed to keep your PC safe.
