Well, unfortunately, mozilla only supplies the 32-bit version of T-Bird on their website and you're running 64-Bit Fedora 17. You could make the 32-bit version run....but that would take effort. Best to download the 64-bit version from here.... http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/24.6.0/linux-x86_64/en-US/ or http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/24.6.0/linux-x86_64/en-GB/ if you prefer "British English". :-) Then all you need to do is un-tar the file and execute the thunderbird executable in that directory. No need to move any files. -- If you can't laugh at yourself, others will gladly oblige.
