[SOLVED] Thundebird does not open clickable links in Firefox?

[azra]

I have checked all my settings under "Default Applications" of the System Settings and they are ok. My default browser is firefox and my default email client is Thunderbird. When I click on links received in emails from thunderbird, nothing happens at all.
What am I missing?

Hello,

please look in my Bug about this and there you find a workaround.

Thanks for that Bubbel.
I messed it up when the prompt window appeared and closed it on firefox without entering the path .
Even when I change back the settings to default and again to true, the prompt window no longer appears when I click on links. This is my mistake, so I guess I will have to live with it.

Hello,

then I would recommend to you to delete your profile-file from TB. Make however please before a protection and then configure TB again after the Workaround. Then the prompt-window should appear again.

I note that this is supposedly fixed by the work around.  The comment is posted to delete the TB profile.  I am unsure just what that means.  I did toggle the changes in about:configure and did not get the popup so that part is done.  Just need to find out how to delete the profile and re-enter.  I checked and did not see any place to do this.

It is a PITA to have to do a copy the URL, click on new window paste the URL and hit enter every time I want to link from TB.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,

have a look here and here

The Thunderbird-Profile you find in /home/your username/.thunderbird

Rather strange.  I went to my Thunderbird profile at the location:

/home/dick/.thunderbird

3 entries:  appreg  e1228ff0,default  and profiles.in1

I checked to make the entry in profiles.in1 and when I did I found it was a new file with no entries at all.

Went back and verified that the configuration had the true all indicated now and still no popup.

Hello,

you have to delete the profile of TB completely and after restart of TB, it will be created new.

Then proceed to the workaround.

Good luck.

Do I delete at the .thunderbird level or at the profiles.in1 level.  When I try to delete profiles.in1 it won't delete it because it says it does not exist - only the name exists.  I tried to use rm to delete - what should I be using to delete the name when no file exists for it.

[Andreas]

what should I be using to delete the name when no file exists for it.

Hello,

you should delete this .thunderbird
