Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Just did the automatic update (Ubuntu 8.04) and now clicking the
"Write", "Reply", "Reply All" and "Forward" buttons does nothing, nor
does selecting "Reply to Sender", "Reply to All", "Forward", or "Edit as
New" from the context menu.  Selecting "Address Book" from the tool menu
gives the following error:

XML Parsing Error: syntax error
Location: chrome://messenger/content/addressbook/addressbook.xul
Line Number 1, Column 3:  url += "SendChatInvite?listofscreennames=" + 
screennames;
--^

selecting anything else from the tool menu returns similar errors, with
different XULs and XML extracts.  "About Us" under "Help" does the same
thing.  I cannot find any XUL files in the Thunderbird profile tree.

The problem is likely with the profile for this set up being kept in a
non-standard location -- the .mozilla-thunderbird/profile.ini is set to

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=0
Path=/home/xxxxx/profile/thunderbird/xxxxxxx.default

This is in the local filesystem.  I've had Thunderbird configured this
way for the better part of a year, and have successfully sent email as
recently as last night.

I'm going to try to uninstall and reinstall, see if it fixes the
problem.
