can't open links in received emails
When I click a link in a received email nothing happens (works ok in hotmail)

If links are not opening up in the browser, try change your default browser to another browser and then change it back. In some scenarios after a browser update, the OS setting for the default browser fails to get updated.

Thanks Chris (my hero!)
I tried all the usual fixes recommended here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Hyperlinks-in-Messages-Not-Working
Then, in accordance with this solution, I changed my browser to Google Chrome and back to Firefox. I still can't open links in emails. Thunderbird is simply unresponsive when I click or double-click a link.
Hi Bill,
You should use https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new where volunteers can get more details about your setup.
Because more people might start using it for their own questions, I'm going to lock it.
