Problem solved !! Found under Account settings - Thunderbird Preferences - Files and Attachments the PDF setting was "save " instead of "open " No idea how that got changed !

What happens when you double-click the attachment? Do you get an error message or nothing simply happens?

When I click on the pdf file once or twice a new window opens up with "Enter name of file to save to " Instead of the file just opening. Thanks
