OK, thanks.  Over the last couple of days I managed to get the launchpad 
PPA's working and have installed the 64bit versions of Firefox 3.6 and 
Thunderbird 3.0. I also managed to find the version of Lightning that 
works with Thunderbird3.0.  They seem to be working well.  At first 
Firefox had difficulty connecting to alot of sites but that was caused 
by the way I had cookies setup.  I'll have to do some more testing but 
the 64bit version seems to handle cookies differently than the 32bit 
version. So for now I think I will stay with the Firefox/Thunderbird combo.
