I finally had a drastic solution to my Thunderbird quitting problem. I
installed a fresh copy of OS X. Besides Thunderbird quitting, Seamonkey
was acting strangely, and then the iMac had a kernel crash. I had never
had any problem with any of this before installing the copy made with
Carbon
I don't remember specific wording but at the end of
the CCC process it put up a message that certain parts of the System
could not be copied. It would seem that they might be critical parts of
the OS.
Sure looks like it.
Faster than reinstalling the whole OS you might have succeeded by simply
That didn't occur to me, but the OS was totally up to date. Is it
possible to somehow force it to do an update it does not need?
It's a pain in the butt to start over, but the process makes me dig into
areas of the system that I tend to forget about. It makes me more
effective when I help

The combo updater will check and fix a version that is the same as the
updates.

Ever since I put a cloned copy of my iMac hard
drive on this iMac, Thunderbird has been has been
quitting after working fine for a while. I've
tried pitching the plist file and installing a new
Thunderbird with no improvement. Any Ideas?
Thanks
I can't tell you more than in my experience Thunderbird has some complex
hooks. It got a small corruption on my PC which I have never been able
to get rid of despite troubleshooting and uninstalls and reinstalls. I
ended running Tbird in its safe mode to avoid the symptom.
