Coastie:
Got me. Thanks for your interest.

gold_finger:
Thanks.

Still find it confusing that error messages said they were already running.  Maybe it was just a generic message that didn't quite fit what was actually happening.

Coastie:
.mozilla and .thunderbird profiles were copied from backup and pasted as administrator into home folder.  I could not start the programs as a normal user. They were never opened as administrator.

gold_finger:
Glad you got it solved Coastie and thanks for posting solution.

I'm still a bit unclear on what happened.  Correct me if I'm wrong on my interpretation of what you said.  Sounds like when the .mozilla and .thunderbird profiles were copied/pasted as administrator, ownership was changed to root.  Then when you started the programs they ran as root and could not be shutdown properly as a normal user.  Then (I'm guessing based on what you said before) their "still running" state during shutdown was saved and they were being "auto-restored" when you restarted the system because of that -- which then caused continual problem with error messages.

Does that sound like right interpretation of what happened?  Or did I get it wrong?

I'm going to bookmark your post so I don't forget it.

Coastie:
That was the problem. I had copied a theme into themes as administrator and then copied .mozilla and .thunderbird as administrator too. Everything is working great now.
