I have to kill thunderbird in task manager to let the notification window go.

Would you like to try again with the build id for the last working build? 2007-08-13-11 seems unlikely to be what you meant.

Hmm, I'm struggling to see how the new download manager changes could be ineracting with the linux new mail notification alert. 

This one error in your console, I find particularly troubling:

Error: parseFloat is not defined

why would parseFloat not be defined?

For what little it's worth, alerts WFM in a Linux build from an hour or so ago.

Phil : I mean 2007-08-11-13-trunk

Sorry for wrong typing.

I will try this the latest build I can find from there :

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/tinderbox-builds/tb-linux-tbox-trunk/

thunderbird-3.0a1pre.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2  15-Aug-2007 00:23  9.3M  

And I will try to see what's happening.

Sigh !

Still same visual bug and same error in error console :

Error: parseFloat is not defined
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/newmailalert.js
Line: 189

I tried removing *.mfasl file, and nothing new.

Stinks like my profile is rotten or what ?!

works now so I'll blame bug 392305 (I found the summary of bug 391885 kinda more poetic though)
