I am using a Debian Testing machine with KDE/Wayland.
I tried using Firefox/Wayland.
But when clicking a link in thunderbird, the web page is loaded in Firefox but Firefox does not get the focus.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.
Same for me: I don't see it in Gnome/Wayland.
So this is a KDE/Wayland specific problem.

It's not a Plasma problem. It's bug 1767546

Well, it's half a Thunderbird bug (it doesn't request and pass an XDG activation token when clicking the link) and half a Firefox bug (it doesn't use the token if one is passed).
I think Gnome/GTK had a non-standard window activation protocol before the standard xdg-activation existed and that's why it works on Gnome. Plasma (somewhat obviously) doesn't have that and only uses the proper xdg-activation protocol, which Thunderbird/Firefox don't implement (completely)
