Thinking that perhaps the executable had been corrupted, I did an "apt-get remove --purge thunderbird" then "apt-get install thunderbird" and tried again...
$ thunderbird -safe-mode

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Could you please generate an apport crash report for this?
You can enable apport for one instance like this:
sudo service apport start force_start=1
I am marking this invalid as apport will open a new bug when the crash is generated. If it does not, you can reset the status of this one to New and we will try something else.
