Hi Andreas,
That seemed to have fixed it!
Is this problem related to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH/PATH enviroment settings ?
Would upgrading thunderbird fix this ?
Is this something that should be passed along to the TUV ?
Thanks,
--Chris

I guess you are using Firefox 3.0 and Thunderbird 1.5.
The reason for the problem is a version conflict of a library used by
Firefox and Thunderbird. If Thunderbird starts Firefox it uses its own
LD_LIBRARY_PATH settings which result in a wrong library version for
Firefox.
Thunderbird uses a script to start Firefox:
/usr/lib/thunderbird-1.5.0.12/open-browser.sh
A solution is to change LD_LIBRARY_PATH at the beginning of this script
in order to have Firefox to look at the correct place for its library:
#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
