   I have a mixture of Ubuntu and Fedora on my desktops at my 
home-office.  My main destkop is F8, and am running 
thunderbird-2.0.0.12-1.fc8

   There were a number of updates between .12 and .14 which you have and 
I don't yet have, one of which specifically talks about possible memory 
leaks

   I haven't noticed the problems you mention with Thunderbird, but have 
found Firefox to be far less stable in recent months than in the past -- 
right around the move from .12 to .13 and then .14.

Currently running: firefox-2.0.0.14-1.fc8
