Hi
Had
exactly the same experience too and managed to resolve.
Lots and lots of 'Thunderbird' related browser searches led me to the following, but please note before changing any 'values' to make a note of what they were beforehand!
In Thunderbird, from 'Preferences' Menu, go to 'Advanced' tab and then under Advanced Configuration, go to 'Config Editor' (button).
After the
disclaimer (confirm to proceed) a window will appear. Enter into the
search box the following:
- Code: Select all
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.
Unfortunately, I can not remember which specific value (bold) I had to change, but successfully resolved the issue.
These are the results in my version allowing to open links in the browser direct from Thunderbird emails.
Are yours the same?
- Code: Select all
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.file default boolean false
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp default boolean false
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http user set boolean true
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https user set boolean true
What I can remember is once I changed a value (Right Mouse Click - Toggle), I closed down Thunderbird and re-opened. Probably not really necessary, but links opened direct from emails in the browser successfully! Also, I didn't have to 'log-out' and 'in' to a new session for this to work.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
