I noticed yesterday after updating Thunderbird to the latest version that it no longer worked with NVDA. I tried restarting and then ran the Com Registration tool and the problem was still there. Now for some reason when I started this morning that now all is good again! This is a real mystery to me but maybe the computer just needed to sleep on the problem overnight and it got things worked out! :) I really don't know what happened but at least I can use Thunderbird with NVDA again.
