I received the latest update to v. 115.4.1 and after admiring the new look, I discovered that I could not open any type of hyperlink within an email. Right-clicking and selecting 'open in browser' fails to open the link as well. This was never an issue until this update. I am on a Win 11 desktop with Chrome set as my default browser. Please advise - I love this tool!

Generally the issue is software firewalls when hyperlinks stop working post update.

Matt - thanks for the quick response. The Norton 'smart firewall' needs to get a little smarter. I disabled it, opened Tbird and all links worked. I reenabled the 'smart firewall' and it suddenly 'got smarter' and allowed Tbird to function as expected.

Sadly I can not even add a new account to Thunderbird with Norton installed without disabling "features" including SONAR, what ever that is. The whole product suffers from the not so smart issue.
