Binary files (as I assume you mean by "executables" are) are separated 
from your data files (mail, accounts data, unames/paswords etc.) in the 
profile folder --> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird

I would first:
*check permissions and ownership on your profile folder (how did you 
make the backup? - some backup tools may change perm./own. and also 
moving files to another file systems can do that - how did you restore 
your back. - not with sudo, by any chance?)
*check profiles.ini file in ~/.mozilla-thunderbird folder to point to 
the right profile.
*follow guides on:

As far as I know, there was no major changes in those versions, just 
security and bug fixes.
