Since upgrading to 68.4.1 my stationery add on has vanished and the accounts/signature wont let me put clickable hrefs in the signature
When I use a html file the link is blue and underline but when I click on it (after sending myself an email) a dialog box pops up asking me to enter a link location / choose a file. Also it doesn't seem to recognize an image in the html but only shows the alt value. Same thing happens when I enter the same html into the text box. This is the html (same as I was using with the Stationery add-on)

Anybody had this problem as well?

I did what you were told to do and edited it in the Thunderbird composer. I do cheat though, I use the ThunderTHML Edit addon. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/thunderhtmledit
But working as it is, this is what I ended up with

Here's the html commented:
!-- html> font face="Calibri, sans-serif">Jeremy Brown | Director | Creative Afternoon | ABN: 32 114 949 450 p> Mobile: 0418419141 | Web page: a href="https://dxf.creative-afternoon.com">dxf.creative-afternoon.com</a>/font></p> p> img src="Logo2019.png" alt="Image1" align="bottom" width="180" height="85" border="0"/> /p> /html>-->
I have removed all the leading < to prevent the forum from trying to render the HTML.

and heres a clip of the html
src="Logo2019.png" This needs to be a fully qualified path and file name, Thunderbird has no idea where to look for that file.
Perhaps create a signature as shown in the YouTube video if HTML is not your thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoqxWvLXJqA
Thanks Matt I fixed the image problem by adding the full path reference as follows:
img src="file:///d:/_mail/stationery/logo2019.png" alt="Image1" align="bottom" width="180" height="85" border="0"/>
However I still can not get a clickable url reference as I said before: When I use a html file the link is blue and underline but when I click on it (after sending myself an email) a dialog box pops up asking me to enter a link location / choose a file.
I have changed the URL as follows: a href="https://dxf.creative-afternoon.com/index.php/">dxf.creative-afternoon.com</a>
But I still get the popup. What is wrong? Regards Jeremy

Thanks Matt I got everything working by putting all my HTML code into the signature text box like below (with left brackets removed)
!DOCTYPE HTML> html> style> p {font-family: calibri,sans-serif; padding: 0px; margin-left: 10px; font-size: 14px; } img {margin-left: 110px;} /style> p> Jeremy Brown | Director | Creative Afternoon | ABN: 32 114 949 450 /p> p> Mobile: 0418419141 | Web page: a href='https://dxf.creative-afternoon.com/'>dxf.creative-afternoon.com/a> /p> p> img src="https://dev.creative-afternoon.com/CreativeMk2/images/Logo2019.png" alt="C-A DXF logo" align="bottom" width="180" height="85" border="0"/> /p> /html>
Also note I transferred the image to my server so it is available to me anywhere. The problem with the clickable refs only occurs if you click on the ref before you send the message for some reason, so it was a bit of a red herring. Thanks for helping with this! Regards Jeremy
Thunderbird does not "linkify" links until they are saved to draft or sent. Make is much easier to edit them if you do not need an arcane set of keystrokes to delinkify it to edit.
Have you considered just adding the signature switch addon again? It is apparently available for the current version.
