When clicking any hot link in an email, whether FB or a web retailer email, etc. this message pops up: "This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app, or if one is already installed, create and association in the Default App Settings page."

At a loss for a solution here. Can someone please help. Thanks.

Generally that is the default browser as set in windows. Are you using something other that the usual chrome Firefox or Edge that windows does not have that set correctly.

I have this problem too. But it seems specifically aimed at Teams, and maybe a few other things. If I try to open a Teams link, from the calendar or a message, I get the same error, asking about a Default App page which of course does not exist in Thunderbird: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/211377310534769?p=JOcKIKzUxaFQjNnZfc fails (I changed a few characters for security) but a regular web link, or even one to WebEx, works. And pasting the Teams link into the Firefox URL bar works. Firefox is my default browser.
