Tab open and closes immediately when opening mailto links using Gmail as default app

Hi there,

I am using gmail as my default email client, so that when I click on a mailto link from anywhere, the system (macos Monterey 12.5.1) passes the link to my default browser (Firefox 108.0.1). This used to work just fine until today: now the tab opens as usual, load gmail, I can glimpse at an email with the correct recipient but the tab closes straight away, without giving me any opportunity to interact. I found a very similar post from half a year ago: Clicking on a "mailto" link opens a new tab then automatically closes immediately, but as far as I understand the solution was to restart the computer (which I tried...). I could not find any other lead... Any idea?

With thanks and best regards
