TBird Version: 140.7.1esr

Since yesterday I can no longer click through with hyperlinks inside an email message.

I don't understand this.

I have already tried all the troubleshooting items to no avail.

To my mind, a change was made to TBird's functionality and this is stopping the click-through to the default browser and the opening of the page linked.

Try this:

Open the TB profile:

- TB menu > Help > Troubleshooting information

- under the Application Basics section next to Profile Folder, click 'Open folder'

Close TB > rename the handlers.json file in your profile folder > restart TB

When you click a link now, you should be presented with a screen where you can choose which browser to use.

If that didn't work, try this:

Open the config editor:

- TB menu > Settings > General > scroll all the way down > click the 'Config editor' button

Search for and set these to true:

- network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http

- network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https

When you click a link now, you should be presented with a screen where you can choose which browser to use. Once done, reset the config options to false.

I had to clear the startup cache on re-entering TB after renaming the handlers.json file (handlers1.json?) but otherwise the first part of the procedure did the trick.

I also toggled the network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http & network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https booleans to true and it still works. So I'll leave them so for now.

Ace work, Ed.

Many thanks.
