Thunderbird: 509 internal error
Thunderbird (the mail client) took it upon itself to crash and refused to start up again.
Attempting to launch it from the command line with thunderbird &
produced the rather unhelpful error message:
/opt/MozillaThunderbird/lib/mozilla-xremote-client: Error: Fail
ed to send command: 509 internal error
Further investigation revealed that a couple of Thunderbird processes
were still running, just not visible. Killing these and removing the
lock file in ~/.thunderbird/Profiles/hey90ash.default/
(your profile directory name will be different) enabled Thunderbird
to restart.
