I understand a fair bit of Linux jargon, but there is a *HUGE* amount that I don't understand, so please phrase things in a way that a non-techie might be able to follow. 

Well, unfortunately, mozilla only supplies the 32-bit version of T-Bird on their website and you're running 64-Bit Fedora 17.  You could make the 32-bit version run....but that would take effort.

Best to download the 64-bit version from here....

http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/24.6.0/linux-x86_64/en-US/

or

http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/24.6.0/linux-x86_64/en-GB/

if you prefer "British English".  :-)

Then all you need to do is un-tar the file and execute the thunderbird executable in that directory.  No need to move any files.
