Solved as per: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-mozillateam-
bugs/2012-April/132383.html
* start thunderbird in safe mode (thunderbird -safe-mode )
* don't tick any boxes in the window that comes (don't permanently reset
anything)
* once thunderbird starts, go to Tools->Addons and disable "Messaging Menu and
Unity Launcher integration 0.8"
* close thunderbird
* start it in normal mode
-> thunderbird works fine.
So I think the problem actually lies in this extension rather than
unity. I'm not sure if the extension is bundled with thunderbird, unity
or a separate package, but its a confirmed issue in 12.04.

Status in Unity:
Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hi team,
This is my second bug report on unity 5, related to thunderbird. Upgrading to
unity 5 broke it so that it can now only be started in safe mode. This happens
in gnome-shell as well. I've done some searching thinking it was a thunderbird
problem but i'm now sure it's the upgrade that broke it.
Running thunderbird from terminal gives:
(thunderbird-bin:13663): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing
type `DbusmenuMenuitem'
(thunderbird-bin:13663): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave:
assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed
(thunderbird-bin:13663): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **:
g_param_spec_object: assertion `g_type_is_a (object_type,
G_TYPE_OBJECT)' failed
(thunderbird-bin:13663): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **:
g_object_class_install_property: assertion `G_IS_PARAM_SPEC (pspec)'
failed
How do I workaround this?
Thanks
