The Thunderbird 38.0b4.tar.bz from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/all-beta.html is the 32-bit version and correct.

The 64-bit version is not hosted there.

You are probably missing some 32-bit dependencies for your system to run the 32-bit version.

Thanks for your answer.

It would be great if the download link of the 64 bit version can be mentioned at mozilla.org as usual.

Hi,

Since https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/beta now contains the Linux 64 bit version, there is no problem.
