Mozilla Thunderbird fails to launch after YaST update

I have been running Thunderbird for months without problems. Today I got notification from Online Update than there are updates available. I checked Thunderbird security update and it was installed. After that I tried to restart Thunderbird and if failed. Tried from console and I got this message:

mordor@linux:~> thunderbird
/opt/MozillaThunderbird/lib64/mozilla-xremote-client: Error: Failed to send command: 509 internal error
mordor@linux:~>

It seems form reading some posts on internet that it might be required to reinstall both Firefox and Thunderbird:

Linux on Acer Ferrari 4005WLMi

I got my new Ferrari laptop so first thing was to try if I can run any Linux live CD on it. So far it was a disaster. Kubuntu does not work mostly because of the ATI graphics card issues. Knoppix 4.0 seems to boot properly but it does not support most of the hardware. Knoppix 5.0 Cebit edition got same problem as Kubuntu, boots to blank screen. I am going to try RR64 Gentoo Live CD.
