Try this screenshot. The hamburger is toward the top right side, below the X.

Remember to click on the small picture below this message and it will open in a larger window.

You may have to use the scrollbar at the bottom of the window to move the view over to the right.

It's a menu icon. Clicking it opens a menu. It consists of three horizontal bars. It looks like the lines below, but the bars are much closer together. The name "hamburger" comes from the idea that it represents a bun (top and bottom lines) and a hamburger patty (middle line). There is one hamburger icon on every page of Thunderbird that can be opened by clicking the name of a folder in the folder pane. If you click Inbox, Drafts, Junk, or Trash, or any of the folders under Local Folders, you should see the hamburger icon way over on the right hand side of the page, near the top of the window.
