That happens for me, too.  I have narrowed it down to the Animations
plugin.  In a console I get this error:

The program 'thunderbird-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 3486 error_code 3 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

If Animations are off it starts fine even with Compiz enabled.  However,
if the Regex Matching plugin is enabled Thunderbird loses its window
decorations and just has the menubar at the top (the line with File,
Edit, View, etc).  I have had to disable these so I can use Thunderbird.
Strangely, Firefox seems unaffected.
