I've wined and complained about it on this list in the past but have not seen any useful response. Other users on this same system have the same issue so it's not my personal profile that's causing the issue. The C6.6 update also broke web camera functionality. I understand there's a kernel patch that fixed the web camera issue but it has yet to ship in any production C6 32 bit or 64 bit kernels. To work around the Thunderbird/Firefox issue I start them in a terminal: [mlapier at mushroom ~]$ thunderbird & [mlapier at mushroom ~]$ firefox & If they fail to start after a reasonable time I use the up cursor key and replay the command until it does work.
