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?
Yes, known to happen to some (or many?) users.

You can find a workaround in that forum thread.

Thanks, Akemi... and Ned. That worked!
I'm guessing google's spiders didn't get to that forum because it didn't come up in my search... or maybe it was after the third page or something. How did you come to know about this?
Thanks again, peeps.
