on login, thunderbird crash detected (background service?)

[silentashes]

Upon logging in from the Xubuntu Login window, I began to launch web browser, etc....

Expected:
Nothing to happen other than my normal activity, and the program (Chromium browser) that I launched.

Happened:
As the login processes were still going (I think?), I received a "Crash Detected" report. Am sending this manually for further details.

Further details:
Am pretty sure I did nothing to trigger the program Thunderbird to launch (just tested: my web browser, Chromium, is set to launch Gmail for all "mail:" links).
I'm wondering if the 'Communications Center' menu, which contains Pidgin IM, Thunderbird, and Liferea, somehow launches a Thunderbird background service or s/t, and that had crashed on startup...?

Also wondering if it's *conceivably* possible that the last user of the computer, under the Guest Account, had triggered a launch or crash of the program, but then logged out before the crash or launch had completed. It's doubtful (unless he misclicked an email address link in firefox browser), as he doesn't use the Thunderbird mail program at all.
.... If, somehow, that occurred.... Would a Crash Report still have appeared under *my* user account (second admin on this OS)?
