Try:
fdisk -l /dev/sdb

That should show you what type 55 is. Then try your mount again.

Should be able to go into that directory and type:
./thunderbird

If not:
chmod u+x thunderbird
then:
./thunderbird

(assuming the name of the run-file is 'thunderbird' ... )

If that works, then you can make a shortcut icon on your KDE desktop or 
wherever. Include the full path to the 'thunderbird' executable file.
