A., No, never spend money on 'drivers' for Ubuntu or any Gnu-Linux system. I suspect a rare but possible hijacking of your browser or perhaps Thunderbird itself. Simplest is to copy all of your data to an external back-up and then re-install. This is especially try if everything was working before some recent date. It is my personal belief that there are some hijacking exploits which affect Gnu/Linux programs, especially ones which interact with the internet. But luckily these are rare.

A, What's your kernel, what's your version of Linux OS? The kernel modules are the 'drivers' and these can change from release to release. This is where to track down the answers. I usually go to a Linux version, like Ubuntu or Xubuntu say, and see if my hardware is supported and if others are running a version of Gnu/Linux on the same hardware. Thank you, Ted P.
