-turbo mode is severely broken.
If Thunderbird is minimized to the tray and Tools->Read Mail is selected from within Firefox, then a 2nd instance of Thunderbird will load. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220196 for more details.
You can minimize an email opened in a seperate window. This minimized window gets the normal Thunderbird tray icon, making it indistiguishable from the normal Thunderbird application tray icon. Also, the minimized email window gets a right clickable menu that doesn't belong to it (see http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=104670&postdays=0&postorder=asc&postsperpage=15&start=180&sid=091ff64a1681d5423730fb0f98c26048)
Thunderbird may give this error message after uninstalling the extension, "Cannot find binary component: Please make sure you have the required DLLs before installing the extension.". This error message can be safely ignored and will not come back the next time Thunderbird loads.
If Firefox is minimized, and an accept cookie dialog window pops up (because the users local settings requires the user to accept cookies), then once a button is pressed on that cookie dialog window, the Firefox window is restored.
