It lacks system integration (plugins et al).

Besides, Mozilla does not provide 64-bits builds for stable branch
(AFAIK, only "nightly builds" are available and not for Thunderbird, just
Firefox).

While we are on the topic, has anyone successfully compiled Thunderbird (on Squeeze 64bit). I have no problems with
Firefox, but after my Thunderbird compile, it runs and immediately exits without a word (OK, if complains that:
                                     Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
, an artifact of running Xinerama, but Firefox also gives that warning with no problem).
