I start Thunderbird (and Firefox) via a CMD file: <thunderbird.cmd>

Note that "mozilla_home" is on a different HD than Thunderbird.
My choice. Using "mozilla_home" gives me the option to run Firefox and
Thunderbird in any versions available.

It is also very easy to change version. I just delete whatever is in
e:\tcpip\thunderbird and unzip the new version in there again. Every mail,
add on , theme - everything is intact on f:\TCPIP\Thunder_Profile. Just run
the CMD file, and you're up again.

"%1" etc gives me the possibility to i.e. give "--safe-mode" as argument,
needed be due to some incompatibility with an add-on, or similiar.

"go" is a kill utility - making sure it dies (TH / FF hangs from time to time)
