Since I rebooted several days ago the problem has not occurred again.
System has been 100% stable.  No thunderbird lock-ups or dropouts.  No 
funnies in Firefox.  I rebooted about 4 days ago.  I just expect never 
to have to reboot a PC having used Unix and now Linux for about 15 
years.   I know windows users are happy if they lockup and reboot 
without losing their work, but this is not Windows and it is most 
unusual to get this type of problem with Linux/Unix.  Will get back to 
you if I get a repeat of the problems or any further pointers to what 
happened

Here is thunderbird info you requested

root at ubuntu-32:/# /usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird --version
 Mozilla-Thunderbird 1.5.0.12, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 mozilla.org
root at ubuntu-32:/#


Help from thunderbird window about gives

1.5.0.12(20070604)

Which might suggest something to do with June 4

Thanks for prompt support
