This has also happened to me twice in the past couple of weeks or so - 
TB 3.0.4 suddenly disappears when I was closing a message or something, 
cannot remember.

The same occurred to my wife but she has a totally different Linux 
distro installed (not K/Ubuntu, and with KDE) with TB 3.0.4.

A couple of random incidents don't help in trying to pinpoint where the 
problem lies but at least it is pointing at v3.0.4 or something 
associated with it. (?Isn't TB Gnome-based?)

I have been using the same TB profile for several years+ in each of the 
versions of Linux distros I have been trying/using; all I do is to copy 
both ~/.mozilla and ~/.thunderbird over to either an external drive or 
(nowadays) to a flash drive and then copy both into the new 
installation. Meaning, that doing so is not the reason for TB suddenly 
disappearing.
