Links in Thunderbird e-mail Don't Work

Post by BobH »

I'm on the latest version of both TB and Waterfox. Until yesterday, whenever I clicked a link posted in an email the browser would open that link in a new tab and display it, taking me from the TB screen to the Wx screen. I didn't consciously make any settings changes but must have done something.

Can anyone tell me what settings to check in each application?

Just a quick pass over the Wx Options and taking a guess but check these possibilities.
Options>Tabs,

Thank you, Bob!

I tried making those changes without getting any result; yet today, after the system slept overnight, everything is back to normal. I can click on an included URL in an email and I'm taken to that web page displayed in my browser.

I think Lamont Cranston must be at work. :grin:

That's a typical SWH event.
