Could not initialize the browser's security component Error message when sending a link

Using Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. Firefox version is 3.6.3 and Thunderbird version is 2.0.0.24 When sending a link with Firefox I get an error message "Could not initialize the browser's security component...". Tried deleting the cert8.db and secmod.db. Noticed if Thunderbird is already open I don't get the error message. But if Thunderbird is closed then opens to send the link I get that error message. Seems the security certificates aren't being passed to Thunderbird when it is opening up.

This happened

Not sure how often
