10.5.8 - Mozilla Thunderbird not running

Question

10.5.8 - Mozilla Thunderbird not running

After I updated from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8, I am blocked from using my Thunderbird email client:
"You cannot open the application “Thunderbird” because it is not supported on this architecture."
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
Thanks,
Mike

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Greetings,

Firefox and Thunderbird work fine on my machines, at work and at home. I can't imagine what could be wrong, but I'd open up Disk Utility, and do a Repair Permissions, after clearing out all the caches from the system.

Cheers,
M.

Hi Again,
Restarting my iMac did not help.
I had to re-install Thunderbird, but it was easy. And when I opened Thunderbird, all of my email and addresses were there. Funny, I simply reinstalled the latest version of Thunderbird, which was the one that I was already running: v2.0.0.22.
Have a nice day,
Mike
