When I open Thunderbird 5 emails open in their own tabs everytime. If I close the tabs and exit Thunderbird then reopen it those 5 tabs open again. Its been happening for a couple of months. I cannot delete the emails as I need them but I dont want them opening everytime, Any ideas please. Ver. 91.4.0 (32-bit)

Help/More Troubleshooting, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, delete session.json, the file that stores the list of open tabs at last exit.
