Clicking a Link in Thunderbird Doesn't Open a Firefox Tab

Post by BobH »

After installing TB 31.7.0, I found that I cannot click on a URL or hot link and have Firefox brought up with the link in a new Fx tab. It's always possible that there is some other cause, but I noticed it soon after installing the TB update.

Does anyone know if there is an option in TB (or Fx) that must be enabled in order to be able to click on a link in TB and have Fx display the page in a new tab? This worked before. :scratch:

:cheers: :chocciebar: :thankyou:

Bob,
I ran down the options in both TB and Fx and didn't spot any that might apply to your problem. I have both the latest updates for them installed without any problems. 38.0.1 in Fx, 31.7.0 in TB
I suppose you could step back to the older versions to see if that does anything but I do have my doubts.

Thanks, Bob. I let the problem sit overnight and that seems to have fixed it. No hammers were involved; percussive adjustment was not required.

Sometimes you just have to sit back and wait for SWH to fix your problem.
