Public bug reported:

launching thunderbird opens a small browser window displaying the
following error:

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xhtml
Line Number 905, Column 3:
  <key id="openLightningKey"
--^

when launched from the command line, the following errors appear:

[calBackendLoader] Using Thunderbird's libical backend
Extension error: Error while loading 
'jar:file:///usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions/messagingm...@mozilla.com.xpi!/manifest.json'
 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) resource://gre/modules/Extension.jsm:570 :: 
readJSON/</<@resource://gre/modules/Extension.jsm:570:20

Extension error: Error while loading

readJSON/</<@resource://gre/modules/Extension.jsm:570:20
onStopRequest@resource://gre/modules/NetUtil.jsm:128:18

from desktop GUI it is possible to launch "Compose new message" or "Contacts" 
window,
then in "Help" menu select "Restart with add-ons disabled", then the normal 
mail/calendar
window opens and functions normally

cheers
