Last week Thunderbird did an automatic update, this is not unusual BUT since then every time I try to start Thunderbird A message comes up 

"Your computer needs to be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Thunderbird. Do you want to reboot now? Yes No"

No mater how many times I allow the computer to restart Thunderbird never opens.

I like Thunderbird I is my preferred email reader and writer.

Try deleting the app folder, then go to https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/all/ > choose your version > reinstall.

To find the app folder location, see TB menu > Help > Troubleshooting Info > Application Basics > Application Binary.
