Perhaps it is time for a brute-force search.  Open a terminal and try
this at the command-line:
  cd ; find . -iname "*default*" |grep -i thunderbird |less

If that produces no results then try a broader search:
  cd ; find . -iname "*default*" |less

Does this output contain any relevant search results?
