Hello Herbert,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with updating Thunderbird.  You made this bug report some time ago and Ubuntu and Thunderbird have been updated since then. 

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket? 
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug? 
If you are, could you let us know and, run the following (only once):
apport-collect 1704815

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better. 
G
