(It's probably time to get that patch committed then since it makes a lot of sense for Linux users.)

What I did to reproduce the issue is removing the mozgnome component. This component is intentionally designed as an optional dependency. To my knowledge Gecko is still supported on systems w/o gconf or gsettings with a bit limited feature set.
I just was too lazy to remove my libgconf stuff from my system.
If Thunderbird is a "supported platform" I do not know nowadays. Neither I don't know why apparently only Thunderbird is affected (I'm going to try Seamonkey now).
