This worked fine for years until I updated firefox and thunderbird recently. Now, however, when I click on a link in an email in thunderbird, rather than open the indicated webpage in firefox, nothing at all happens.
network.protocol-handler.app.http in tbird's about:config specifies the executable /usr/lib/thunderbird/open-browser.sh and running the latter at the CLI with a URL as an arg does work as expected: the spec'd URL is loaded into firefox. So I suspect a bug in tbird.
Anyone else having this problem?
I'm having a problem with Thunderbird's links but not quite the same. I click on a link in a email & it actually loads it in Chrome but then it freezes the whole machine. I can launch a terminal via Ctrl-Alt-F2 but can't get a prompt in order to actually do anything.
My only recourse is a hard reboot via the mains plug.
This has happened for the last few updates. If you get any joy from the Thunderbird people, please let me know.
Cheers,
Phil.
