Thunderbird will only open on one local folder. No other window, no access to accounts. Reinstalling doesn't help.

I have 4 accounts and about 30 local folders. Thunderbird is stuck with one local folder open. Cannot access any other page, or any accounts. Reinstalling does not help, nor does restarting the computer. I have Thunderbird 31.5.0 on Yosemite 10.10.2.
