The process was not running either. The problem you descibe the fix for
would be if you have started Thunderbird and then try to start it
again. Of course, there may be other scenarios that could be fixed the
same way, but not the one I described. I wish I still had the error on
my clipboard so I could google it again and provide links to better
describe the problem and the fixes.
