With Thunderbird open and Firefox closed- when clicking on an email link the link will open my Firefox start page not the link as it use to. With both Firefox and Thunderbird open- when clicking on an email link the email link will open a new tab in Firefox like it has in the past. This just started recently. It is happening on both Windows10 and Peppermint 10 distro (Ubuntu based OS) Thunder 68.4.1 Firefox 74.0

Thank you it worked at first. Then issue came back. Manually turned off all add-ons. Then added them back on one at a time. Thanks again for getting me on the right track.
