this is same issue as Bug #575116 to fix we have to edit thunderbird launch script at /usr/lib/thunderbird-<VER>/thunderbird.sh also see my comments here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/575116/comments/5 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390235 Title: thunderbird does not use the init.d directory in .mozilla-thunderbird Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird Because my thunderbird did not display my date and time as I wanted, I created a init.d/S00Locale file as described on http://kb.mozillazine.org/Change_the_Date_Format Unfortunately that only worked after I created a shortlink from ~/.thunderbird to ~/.mozilla-thunderbird, so apparently thunderbird does not honor the init.d directory in .mozilla-thunderbird.
