On or about 05/05/2014 08:33 AM, Franklin McCormick stated for us to ponder:
This morning update of Fedora 19 included a new Thunderbird.
It failed and now T'bird won't run.
These are the details:

There was a bug (1094028) already filed...but I added some info to it.
I can't believe that no one else has commented on this 36 hours later....
I got around this by:
yum --releasever=20 update thunderbird
yum decided to update both thunderbird and sqlite to its current fc20
update versions. Thunderbird 24.5.0 is now running on my fc19 laptop.
The bugzilla referred to above suggests installing the fc19 version
direct from the koji build system:
(probably would have been easier had I seen it)
