Update To Thunderbird 5: Starters

Hi there,

i recently updated my thunderbird to the new 5.0 version. it works fine, except that the update process obviously left out the starters in the applications bar. if i click on the thunderbird symbol the old version starts. to get into the new one i always have to use the shell-script. is there any way to update the shortlinks in the menu?

I had the same issue. I fixed it by going to System/Preferences/Main Menu, highlighting Internet in the left column, choosing new Item and then filling in the Create Launcher fields. Type = Application Name = Thunderbird Command = thunderbird Comment = Mail and News Reader (name and comment can be of your choosing)

Thanks a lot!
