That link opened to your "Login on Twitter" page in my Firefox browser when I open the test case email in my Thunderbird 78.10.2 and clicked the link.

Do you have a default browser set up on your operating system?

My default browser is set to Firefox. I'm on Firefox 88.0.1 (64-bit).

I forgot to mention that all other emails seem to work fine. It's only Twitter emails that show this error message. Very strange.
