thunderbird download and install troubles

[william jones]

As the Thunderbird download was finishing a "cancelled"message appeared
in Download Manager and the note to "save to disk"
displayed.After saving to disk,I have been unable to install and launch
the program normally ,it would seam,since I can start the program only
by clicking on the 6.5k shell script file located in my "Home" folder
and running the shell script file.Is there an easier solution to
resolving this,or should I delete the file and redo the download using
apt-get or yum?

This works:/home/william/wwj/thunderbird- then double clicking on the
6.5 shell script file and then selecting "run".

Thanks for any suggestions.As one can see,I'm not at all familiar with
Fedora's inner workings.
