"Error launching browser window: TypeError: Components.classes['@mozilla.org/appshell/component/browser/instance;1'] has no properties"
However, if I have Mozilla running, and then run Thunderbird, things work just fine.

I've just installed Thunderbird 0.2. One problem I have is that while
I'm using it, I can't run Mozilla (even if I try to start it without

about (I'm not all that programming-savvy). Could someone help try to
explain how to fix this problem in more simple terms?
Downloaded 0.2 today. -- Renamed the old thunderbird install directory

-- changed to the new directory
-- untarred the tar.bz2 file
-- moved the actual "thunderbird" directory directly under /usr/local

Both working fine.
Perhaps you don't have separate .thunderbird and .mozilla directories in your home directory (ie. ~/.thunderbird and ~/.mozilla)?
