Check if thunderbird's localstore.rdf contains the string "fullscreen".
To do that
1. Quit thunderbird.
2. Do a
grep fullscreen ~/.thunderbird/<your profile folder>/localstore.rdf
(replace "<your profile folder>" with the actual name of the profile
folder - probably something like "wxyz1234.default")

If the grep command above doesn't produce any output, the cause of the
problem is something else and I don't any further idea.
If it does generate output, renaming localstore.rdf should put
thunderbird back into windowed mode. Instead of renaming localstore.rdf
you could use the text editor of your choice to change the part of the
file that looks like
sizemode="fullscreen"
to
sizemode="normal"
This way you won't lose other UI settings as you do if you rename or
delete localstore.rdf.
