Thunderbird has throbbers displayed in the main window, the Compose window, and the Address Book window. You can change the throbber URL for each separately. For each that you want to change, add the appropriate lines of code below into your user.js file and replace "http://kb.mozillazine.org/" with whatever URL you want to use. You can also change these settings through about:config.
