I'm betting you placed TB into /usr/local/thunderbird/ and then the command above should be:

Nope, afraid not. I wish it were so. And just so you can convince yourself:
ingo@dicker:~/.mozilla/thunderbird> thunderbird --help bash: thunderbird: command not found ingo@dicker:~/.mozilla/thunderbird> ls
If "." (current directory) is not in your path (and that's a Good Thing for reasons I won't go into right now) then typing COMMAND won't work even if you are in COMMAND's directory. You must either specify <full path to command>/COMMAND or in the directory where COMMAND lives, type ./COMMAND Like Patrick, although fruitlessly, has been trying to tell you a number of times. What also works is a symbolic link in one of the directories in your path like (I'm making a wild guess here :-)) /usr/local/bin cd /usr/local/bin (as root) ln -s ../thunderbird/thunderbird Now it will work everywhere Best regards, -- Jos van Kan
