just upgraded thunderbird (ebuild info below). in previous versions of thunderbird, i had a saved search that included the criteria "label - isn't - none". in the new version, labels have apparently been converted to tags. so, when selecting the saved search folder, Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open an old version of thunderbird (1.5 ?) 2. create a saved search on some folder with the criteria "label - isn't - none" 3. close thunderbird and open a new version (2.0.0.4, for example) 4. select a mail folder 5. select the saved search folder 6. repeat until the software segfaults (should not be more than 2 or 3 times) Actual Results: i didn't feel like downgrading and upgrading thunderbird whilst writing this bug report, so here is the output from my machine for steps 4-6: $ thunderbird No running windows found /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 119: 25454 Segmentation fault $(type -P aoss) "$mozbin" "$@" thunderbird-bin exited with non-zero status (139) Expected Results: no crash. the solution here is easy to fix -- i'll need to change the properties of my saved search and remove the settings that no longer work. but the software shouldn't crash based on my old settings!

Sorry, this is a wrong place to complain about this; you'll need to ask upstream to fix issues with old profiles on upgrade.
