Can you start thunderbird in safe mode (http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode)  and see if that issue goes away ?

Anything in Tools -> Error console when this happens ?

Hi Ludovic,

I ended up re-downloading the latest installation file (it actually seem to be being uploaded as I was downloading ...) and installed it.

That fixed the problem.
