You don't mention what GUI is installed. Assuming that you are using
the default Wayland and not X, per a recommendation from one of the
Fedora people, I installed thunderbird-wayland package and then
changed the app startup to use thunderbird-wayland instead of just
thunderbird. There is a very long pause before thunderbird comes up,
and then it just works. Mention was also made of this fix being
merged at a later date.
I have no idea why thunderbird and not thunderbird-wayland is in the
software app list. You have to do the install from CLI because of
this secondary foulup.
I apologize, I should have been more clear. In my case, I use Xfce. I am
not using Wayland, I am using plain old X11:
[thomas.cameron@case Desktop]$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
x11
I have to use the NVidia drivers, so I've shied away from Wayland.
