I suspect your problem is similar to the one I had - see recent thread: 
"Thunderbird Upgrade - Should I?"

The best thing you can do is open a terminal and type the following 
commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install thunderbird


This should give you the most up to date version

Then delete the (now superfluous) tarball

This is what was suggested to me in the above mentioned thread and has 
worked well for me.

Cheers,

Graham
