Previously, when I wanted to send a photo or document, if I right click on that document i get an option to "send to mail recipient". That option would open Thunderbird, and a fresh compose e-mail. Now, it opens Thunderbird, but not the compose e-mail. What happened. I have just downloaded 52.0.1 I am not sure what version I was on before.

This is the feature that is not working and it is my default email app.

.......If Thunderbird is specified as your system's default email application, it will integrate with other applications (such as word processors and web browsers). For example, when you click an email address link (like "email@example.com") on a web page or invoke a mail function (such as "Send to") from a word processor, Thunderbird will launch and open a message composition window.

Usually this should work if TB is defined as the default email program in all the relevant places. There are other remedies, such as this one, and also it may be as simple as running the fixmapi utility.
