Yes, when I press the F9 key in Thunderbird, the addresses appear on the
left side. I have never before used that feature, however-- I always use
the autocomplete address feature in the address fields of the compose
window.

It sounds like something is intercepting the F9 key. Either the keybinding
has changed or some other application is grabbing it.

You might try creating a new user account on your system and see if it
works correctly there.
