This may be a Windows 10 bug - after a restart, the feature works as expected.

The summary says the webpage should open in "Firefox", but the bug description says it should open in a "Thunderbird" tab. Which is the really expected behavior?

Oops. I meant "in a Firefox tab".  Sorry for the confusion.  BTW, I've not had this problem since that time, and I can't reproduce it.
