Not urgent, actually, as I'm planning on switching from Thunderbird back
to Evolution, as it will sync with the Tungsten E I have on the way :-),
but I /would/ like to be able to access the mail which I now seem to
have no access to; same with Firefox -- I know I can create a new
profile there and rebuild what I need, but it'd be nice to have access
to the old settings.

The scenario is this:  Have been running older versions of both TB and
FF until today, when I decided to take the two of them out of my urpmi
skip.list and allow them to upgrade finally.  So, did urpmi, which did
its thing, ran each once as root first (since that seemed to be critical
with earlier upgrades), then attempted to run as usual.

Thunderbird seems to have kept my account settings, and my folder
directory even seems to show the proper counts for unread mail, etc., as
I had left it before the upgrade, but nothing will show to the right ...
neither a message listing nor anything in the preview pane.  Similarly,
the "get mail" button seems to do nothing now.  Any ideas, other than
creating a new profile and starting over?

Same with Firefox ... my bookmarks are still there, and my Google
toolbar is still there, but I've lost the ability to make profile
changes (it warns it couldn't write to the profile and any changes would
be lost upon shutting down the program).  Any ideas there, again, other
than starting over with the new profile?

I know that upgrades have been problematic from the get-go, but was
hoping they'd ironed things out a bit better by now.  Oh, well.  Anyway,
TIA for any pointers.  I've had little luck finding my way around the
Mozilla forum/FAQs for this.
