It simply does not start. It gives no error messages whatsoever(started from
command line). I have both versions of firefoxes(non-gtk2 and gtk2) runnig
perfectly, which means my system setup must be ok. I did a strace to see what is
going on and it gives me the following:

fork()                                  = 18462
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [RTMIN], NULL, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [RTMIN], 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [RTMIN], NULL, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [RTMIN], 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {0x8070120, [], 0x4000000}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
wait4(-1, [WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 11], 0, NULL) = 18462
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [RTMIN], NULL, 8) = 0
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) ---
wait4(-1, 0xbfffea9c, WNOHANG, NULL)    = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [RTMIN])
rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {SIG_DFL}, {0x8070120, [], 0x4000000}, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [RTMIN], 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [RTMIN], NULL, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [RTMIN], 8) = 0
stat64("core", 0xbfffed80)              = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [RTMIN], NULL, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [RTMIN], 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [RTMIN], NULL, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [RTMIN], 8) = 0
read(255, "\nexit $exitcode\n", 8192)   = 16
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [RTMIN], 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [RTMIN], NULL, 8) = 0
semget(11, 0, 0x1|0)                    = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
_exit(11)                               = ?


This is just the end of the strace output.

P.S. This does not really belong to the "Account Manager" component, but I there
is nothing else for me to choose. Please understand. Thanks.

Please create bug reports carefully. You mean Firefox or Thunderbird?
Thunderbird 0.8 doesn't exists at the moment.

Please try a current build to verify that this bug always exists.
