Thunderbird crashes on startup

Asked by A Wolf

Greets
First, I want to state that I am new to the Linux community.
I am using Linux Ubuntu 10.10 Maverik Meerkat. Suddenly Thunderbird starts crashing on startup. I don't know how to run it in safe mode but here's what I read somewhere tried it and same result I used the terminal and typed in thunderbird -safe-mode
Same result still it pops up for a tenth of a second and it closes on its own.

Here's what I get when Running it through the terminal

progname=thunderbird-bin; RGBA=on
