Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  This thunderbird error is given when clicking a mailto link. Instead
  of using the thunderbird that's already open it tries to open a new
  instance. Preferred Applications has Thunderbird select, but I have
  also tried Custom command "thunderbird %s". This has been tested on
  10.04 and 10.10. Both result in this error if thunderbird is already
  running.

  Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new
  window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or
  restart your system.
