When clicking anything that contains a web link nothing happens. Iused to be able to click a link in a message/mail and be taken to that link`s website. Can`t even get the help page from Thunderbird. Otherwise everything is working. So what happened-changed?

Sounds like your computer has had a change in the default settings. Basically, Thunderbird uses the computer default settings, but if it cannot locate the default browser then it does nothing.

So, you need to work through the various sections to ensure the preferred Browser is correctly set up as default.
