>From bug #559881 comment #14.

"At your suggestion, I just used Synaptic to remove libnss3-0d (libcamel1.2-10 will be removed, libnss3-0d will be removed).
This eliminated all my bug symptoms.

So far as I know, I do not use FIPS. I did not ever and I do not have
libnss3-dev installed.

These were my bug symptoms, "alert" messages that were displayed after I
invoked Thunderbird and before Thunderbird displayed anything:

Alert
Could not initialize the browser's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your browser's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended hat you exit the browser and fix the problem. If you continue to use this browser session, you might see incorrect browser behavior when accessing security features.

Alert
Thunderbird can't connect securely to pop.gmail.com because the SSL protocol has been disabled."
