This really sound like an intermittent bug in firefox and thunderbird,
given the other information below.

Seems it isn't the video driver then.

Actually, it isn't.  From the mozilla web site,

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

Linux

On Linux, you can go to your Terminal and run (for Firefox):

        * /path/to/firefox/firefox -safe-mode 

It probably accepts the --safe-mode as well.  It isn't like Firefox 
is going to have lots of options from the command line anyway.  I was
just being peevish.
