Something weird happened today. Thunderbird downloaded an update and kept restarting ad infinitum due to the error “Software update failed!”. I Googled around and it turns out the Logitech Quickcam software was causing issues. Exiting that application allowed Thunderbird to update and start. How weird is that?
