Chosen solution

To force quit, press Option+Cmd+Esc, then select what you want to force quit. To make Tbird quit completely, you need to use Thunderbird > Quit Thunderbird from the menu. The other way is to right-click the icon in the dock and choose Quit. Clicking the red button in the corner of the window only closes the interface.
