User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.19 (20081209)

After update to 2.0.0.19 last night, when I click on a URL in a message from the reading pane of the message, the link does nothing.  There are no error messages. When clicking the URL, the entire window seems to flash.

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Disabled all add-ons
2. Tried different messages with different URLs
3. Opened message in own view (outside 3-pane) and tried URL

Running on Dell D830 Laptop with Windows Vista 32bit.  4GB memory.  
Browser system default is Firefox 3.0.5.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Thunderbird
2.Click on URL link in message
3.
Actual Results:  
URL is not opened in either browser installed.

Expected Results:  
URL should have opened in Firefox

This isn't a huge thing as you can copy/paste url into browser.  Just a real pain.
Resetting your default browser should usually fix it (may have to set some other browser in between, then ff again.) Does that help?
Magnus, that did the trick. Thank you for the info.
