Is the filename capitalized?  Filenames in *ix filesystems are case 
sensitive.  Try typing part of the name and press tab to see if the 
shell completes it. As others have suggested, you could try using a GUI, 
or you could install mc (a non-GUI file manager, like Norton Commander 
for DOS). Or you could install the Ubuntu thunderbird package (it might 
be a slightly older version than the tar.gz).
