Try nuking your thunderbird preferences. I know that's not a proper fix, but I suspect it is an oddity in your preferences that is causing it problems. Also - install the gdb and the thunderbird-debuginfo package and try to get a backtrace - as that may help squash a bug. You should be able to start thunderbird from gdb, and get a backtrace when it crashes.
