Greg,Jacob,
If it's not a problem with permisions then it is a problem with you having used mozilla before and switching over to thunderbird. You can try to move your .mozilla directory (in your home dir) and when you start thunderbird it will create a new one and that will probably let it start. Remember thunderbird is still in development and still uses the .mozilla dir and has some problems with the way mozilla does things.
Any way give that a try.

Actually Chris,
I'm pretty sure thunderbird uses ~/.thunderbird for its user directory by default.
I just downloaded thunderbird, uncompressed it, and it runs just great from any use on the system. I'm using Fedora Core 1. I uncompressed it as my own user (not root). I would have to lean more toward a permissions problem
Greg
Thanks, you are correct, thunderbird does use the ~/.thunderbird dir, it is firebird that still uses ~/.mozilla. I got mixed up on which one was using what and didn't bother to check before i wrote an email. I'll just go back into the corner and keep my mouth shut :)
