firefox always opens startup page for embedded links

Can't seem to stop having difficulty with Firefox 91.0 on Ubuntu 20.04. Don't know what happened to the browser in it's latest upgrades but a host of issues.

The newest issue is that embedded links in emails or links I click on webpages always launch my default page, not the the link I'm clicking on.

Just wanted to add that I have no extensions or modificatons made to Firefox. Fresh install into a home directory.

Hi

Are you using a build from Mozilla or one from Ubuntu?

Just discovered that this is an issue with links in Thunderbird, NOT Firefox. Sorry for the trouble I will go elsewhere as this is the Firefox forum unless someone knows off the top of their head how to solve it.

I'm also using Thunderbird, current and Beta and do not have that issue. I would try the beta to see if that makes a difference. Just download to a folder and run it.
