When I am on the internet, videos, click-ons all open immediately. I had to go to the internet to get to your site, because when I clicked on the "Help" at the bottom of my Thunderbird account, it would not open.

In a nutshell, if I get an email from a group that says "click here for more info" or if I click the

"play arrow "on the u tube video  etc.  It will not open and/or play.  This is only happening in my email account.

Thunderbird does not play video. You need to correct software to open the file types you are being sent.
