Earlier in the year I installed Thunderbird onto a new PC having previously used an older version on an older PC. When visiting a web site (and clicking on an email hyperlink there) my previous version used to automatically launch Thunderbird but the new version doesn't do that any more (i.e. clicking email hyperlinks doesn't do anything at all)

I'm running on Windows 10 and using Thunderbird version 150.0.2. I this likely to be due to some setting in Thunderbird? Or is it maybe something I need to configure in Windows?

There is a setting in settings>general to make thunderbird the app, but I think you also need to go to 'default apps' in windows to establish the link from windows to thunderbird.

Open your browser settings and look for something that sets the application for mailto links.

Thanks for the quick response guys. Changing the setting in Default Apps has fixed it.
