Can't open Mozilla Thunderbird, has the site gone down, 26/2/19?

I have used Firefox, Mailwasher and Mozilla Thunderbird for years, the three have always worked fine. However, today I am unable to open Thunderbird from Mailwasher, or from my Desktop icon or from the Thunderbird application on Windows Explorer. I then did a full scan using Microsoft Security Essentials and there were no problems detected. Is Mozilla Thunderbird down at the moment?? Thanks for any help you can give me. Macca45
