Thunderbird wont start except in safe mode and then too takes about 10 minutes or more.
Thunderbird wont start except in safe mode and then too takes about 10 minutes or more. There was a similar question asked I see in 2015 and the solution was to disable lightning. However, since I cannot start Thunderbird except in "safe" mode I cannot access Lightning via the "tools-add-ons-extensions" route as it shows no "lighting add-on" I have had to keep Thunderbird open all the time as a result so I can have quick access to my e-mails. Any fix would be greatly appreciated.

Lighting is not any more an add-on (The Lightning calendar add-on is now integrated into Thunderbird" https://www-stage.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/78.0/releasenotes/ ) so I think you should try to disable (in safe-mode) each add-on one by one till you find the one which is creating you this issue.
Keeping Thunderbird open is not a bad thing ;)
Did you find which add-on is causing the problem?
