HI! Thunderbird will not launch. There is a line under it, so it's open, but it will not come in the forefront. I can right click and write e-mails or see my address book, but I can't see my mail. I am getting notifications when new mail comes in, but when I click on that Thunderbird will not open. Not sure how to fix this. If you have any ideas, please let me know. Thank you.

HI! Thanks! I did do all of that and started in safe mode several times. I finally got it fixed after hitting the reset all toolbars and controls. Chrome or Windows must have done a huge update because I was having problems with a bunch of different software. :)

Did you try: Right click on icon to see pop up list Right click on 'Mozilla Thunderbird' and choose 'Open' OR Right click on 'Mozilla Thunderbird' and choose 'Run as administator'

Did you try to close Thunderbird via Taskbar Manager and then try to open again as normal? Right click on Task Bar and choose 'Task Manager' Select 'Thunderbird' and click on 'End Task' Give it a few moments for background processes to complete before attemping to open again.
