[Bug 602672] Re: Thunderbird doesn't start after upgrade

[Paul Gevers]

Hmm, I had the same problem today, again after an update.

I think it relevant that thunderbird is running during the upgrade.
After the upgrade I found that thunderbird was not responding as it
should (links weren't followed), soI killed thunderbird (via atl-f4),
and started thunderbird, which left me with a very small unuseful
window, which I closed again. I then check running thunderbird process
and found 3 long running thunderbird processes (some with a strange time
of 0:00, see below). After I killed those and again started thunderbird,
everything was fine.

I therefor think that in the installation script some intelligence needs
to be incorporated that checks on running processes and deals with them
appropriately. I have no idea what appropriately is thou.
