 this sounds like it was caused by a upgrade example gutsy to hardy
upgrade since you run tbird after moving the .rdf and once renamed
starting tbird again will generate that file again, Ive seen this type
of issue alot and thats why im thinking its a corrupt profile due to
upgrade ubuntu versions.

For everyone that saw this bug can you please confirm the process that
Matt did fixes this. Matt can you please post or attach here the old
profile so i can determine what happened.
