Does your issue resemble the one described in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2060146 "Thunderbird hangs and is marked as Not responding while started on macOS, if Creative Cloud fonts are being retrieved."

I downloaded 'Rosetta' (an Apple app) a few minutes ago and then went to open Thunderbird and it has now opened successfully - I don't know if it was the solution or just coincidence!!
