Thunderbird 78.8.1 For Sale

After restart of Win10 Thunderbird works flawlessly, including subscribing to an ical calendar (kronox.oru.se).But as soon as I start any web browser (Firefox, Chrome or Edge) I get the attached message box, neither 'Get Certificate' nor 'Confirm Security exception' seem to have an effect. Worse than that (just pressing 'Cancel' once in a while would not bother me too much), communicating with email servers using OAuth stops working. Neither closing all browsers or restarting TB helps, only reboot. I tried all fixes I could find, including deleting cert8.db (now probably cert9.db), changing TB settings, but nothing helped.This is very bothering, as after restart I have to decide whether I want to use email or a browser, I cannot have both.Any help highly appreciated, thanks,Holger.#
