If you encounter strange problems or Thunderbird doesn't start at
all, try the -safe-mode switch.

To disable anti-aliasing (xft) set GDK_USE_XFT=0 in the environment.

Links

To make Thunderbird open links using Firefox, shut down Thunderbird
and add these lines to ~/.thunderbird/<something>.default/prefs.js:

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "/usr/local/bin/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/local/bin/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/usr/local/bin/firefox");

Plugins

Thunderbird looks for plugins in ~/.mozilla/plugins
/usr/local/mozilla-thunderbird/plugins and
/usr/local/lib/mozilla/plugins.
If the environment variable MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH is specified, this
location will be overridden.

Debugging

If you encounter crashes, you might want to build the debug FLAVOR of
this package, and run 'thunderbird -g' to run thunderbird inside gdb, so
that you can gather debugging logs and traces.
Bug reports without that information will be ignored.
