1325025 - hyperlinks from e-mails in Thunderbird don't work with Firefox

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Jean-Pierre Biber]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0
Build ID: 20161208153507

Steps to reproduce:

Hyperlinks in my e-mails in Thunderibrd have not been working with Firefox since several updates of Thunderbird, but perfectly worked before. I have tried all possibilities offered by Thunderbird (even adapting the network protocol handlers) but, the hyperlinks still won't work.


Actual results:

Hyperlinks still don't open Firefox


Expected results:

Hyperlinks should open Firefox

Trust me, clicking on a hyperlink *will* open the link in your chosen browser, in your (and my) case Firefox.

If it doesn't work, there's something wrong with your installation. So this is not a software bug but a support case which you filed in the wrong place. For support go to:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/thunderbird

You can see that I'm right be running Thunderbird on a new profile, start it with -p.

Perhaps you have incorrect file associations like the last complainer in bug 1323065.
