Where is the about:config box in Thunderbird 17?

I have looked under the Tools Menu and it doesn't seem to be there.

Is there a way to bring up a URL box in Thunderbird I don't know about?

This Mozilla Support article on about:config says "In Thunderbird 1.5 or later, about:config is accessed via "Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Config Editor (button)". – martineau Dec 16 '12 at 13:56
I found it but I am running on Linux and that info is outdated. – vfclists Dec 16 '12 at 14:11

In Firefox 17 the installation defaults don't give a menu at the top, just a set of tool buttons.

On the right side of the Tool bar there is a button with 3 horizontal lines which 'Displays the Application Menu'. Click on that and select Preferences -> Preferences. Select the Advanced icon which should be on the right. The first tab is General and the Config Editor button wlll be on the bottom right.
