On one of my f39 systems Thundebird fails to start claiming that it is
already running. "ksyguard" from root doesn't show anything I can
recognize as having to do with Thunderbird. Rebooting does not get it to
work. Looked at the ".thunderbird" file in the user directory and there
are lots of entries there to make sense about. I can't close an instance
that I can't find. The pop up window suggests using a different profile
but I don't see any way to select a profile.
Tried erasing Thunderbird and installing it again but the problem remains.
Every once in a while, Thunderbird just loses its mind. No idea why. But
I will generally just rename my ~/.thunderbird directory to something
like ~/.thunderbird.old and launch Thunderbird again.
It stinks, because you have to re-download your email, but it always
clears it up.
Or, as others have said, look for a lock file. In my case it's under
/home/thomas/.thunderbird/huvoz3fr.default-release/lock or
/home/thomas/.thunderbird/huvoz3fr.default-release/.parentlock. See if
deleting those helps.
