I have the same problem with Thunderbird and Firefox after the update
from C6.5 to C6.6. I've wined and complained about it on this list in
the past but have not seen any useful response. Other users on this
same system have the same issue so it's not my personal profile that's
causing the issue.
The C6.6 update also broke web camera functionality. I understand
there's a kernel patch that fixed the web camera issue but it has yet to
ship in any production C6 32 bit or 64 bit kernels.
To work around the Thunderbird/Firefox issue I start them in a terminal:
[mlapier@mushroom ~]$ thunderbird &
[mlapier@mushroom ~]$ firefox &
If they fail to start after a reasonable time I use the up cursor key
and replay the command until it does work.
