Glad you got it solved Coastie and thanks for posting solution.
I'm still a bit unclear on what happened. Correct me if I'm wrong on my interpretation of what you said. Sounds like when the .mozilla and .thunderbird profiles were copied/pasted as administrator, ownership was changed to root. Then when you started the programs they ran as root and could not be shutdown properly as a normal user. Then (I'm guessing based on what you said before) their "still running" state during shutdown was saved and they were being "auto-restored" when you restarted the system because of that -- which then caused continual problem with error messages.
Does that sound like right interpretation of what happened? Or did I get it wrong?
I'm going to bookmark your post so I don't forget it.
