All of a sudden Thunderbird will not allow me to attach files to outgoing emails. When i compose an email and either click on the paperclip icon or go to Files/Attach/Files, nothing happens. I can no longer get a Finder window (using Mac).

have you been drawn to the dark side and installed a mac version of one of those anti virus programs?

Nope. The other strange thing is that my tabs are acting a bit strange. In the past the main tab had my list of accounts and if I clicked on one of them it would switch the listing in the main window. Now I have to open up a new tab (control click and then select Open in New Tab) in order to be able to read the emails; otherwise everything freezes up.
