            problem
      
      
      Hi,

        System is f41, fully updated.

        Desktop is GNOME

        PC is Lenovo Thinkpad X280.

        After an update a week or two ago clicking on a link in a
        thunderbird email stopped working.

        An update  today installed a new thunderbird, 128.9.0esr
        (64-bit) and this situation persists.

        The browser is firefox but at one point in the past it was
        firefox-wayland I think. 

        I can right click and copy the link and then paste it into
        firefox already running (acceptable work around)

        But I would like to get it working as expected, launch firefox
        or open a window in one already running.

        Any suggestions are welcome,

        TIA,

        Roger Wells

        
    Hi Roger,

        I'm running the Daily version of upstream Thunderbird and
    Nightly version of upstream firefox both of which are updated daily.
    When I click on a url link in a mail the link launches in firefox
    which is the default browser, although I'm running KDE in F41.

        When right-clicking on the link in the mail does the popup
    include the option "Open in Browser"? I'm not sure where to find
    this in Gnome, but you may want to check what the default settings
    for mimetypes to see what is set for the mimetype associated with
    the link you are clicking on, an update may have changed that.

    
    regards,

    Steve
