Whenever I try to open Thunderbird for a second time during a session I get the message
Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system.
But I can't close it because I can't find it anywhere.
If I use the cli I get
** (thunderbird-bin:5442): WARNING **: Can not stat /home/maurice/tmp/orbit-maurice
** ERROR **: I can't write to '/home/maurice/tmp/orbit-maurice', ORB init failed
aborting...
/usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 5442 Aborted "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
which is not surprising as there's nothing in /tmp.
I've reinstalled TB but to no avail.
As a 'workaround' I open it then minimjze rather than closing it. But sometimes I forget and then have top reboot.
