Quit Thunderbird and start it again. Recreate whatever you did that caused the problem your experiencing and see if it persists.

If the problem persisted go to "Debugging Thunderbird". If the problem did not persist enable each extension, try to recreate the problem then disable the extension again until you come across which extension is causing the problem then go to "Debugging Thunderbird Extensions".
