Thunderbird has started refusing to open emails, unless I open them in a new window. Why?

Recently Moz Thunderbird has started refusing to open emails when I click on them, or links within emails...eg on an order, all complete but last step, which T'bird refuses to open. I am running XP (Yair I know) ...I have had Norton knock out Mozilla runtime several times recently, and have as a result had to re-install Firefox and T'bird on several occasions.

Any solution resulting in T'bird's customary reliability being restored welcomed.

Try safe mode (Hold shift while you start Thunderbird.)

Safe mode made no difference. I fully deleted T'bird and re-installed, (yet again) and so far all is working. This time I avoided all add-ons.
