Yes, firefox has a similar setting, accessible from "about:config"  In
Thunderbird, you access the configuration through
"Edit...Preferences...Advanced" select the "General" tab and click the
"Config Editor" button.

You might want to try it even on your 32-bit system; it's easy enough to
change back if it doesn't help.
