Hmm, I had the same problem today, again after an update. I think it relevant that thunderbird is running during the upgrade. After the upgrade I found that thunderbird was not responding as it should (links weren't followed), soI killed thunderbird (via atl-f4), and started thunderbird, which left me with a very small unuseful window, which I closed again. I then check running thunderbird process and found 3 long running thunderbird processes (some with a strange time of 0:00, see below). After I killed those and again started thunderbird, everything was fine.
I therefor think that in the installation script some intelligence needs to be incorporated that checks on running processes and deals with them appropriately. I have no idea what appropriately is thou. p...@stromboli ~ $ ps aux |grep thunderbird paul 1529 0.0 0.0 1832 488 ?
