I'm still trying this and that. But so far, what I am seeing, is that
if /any/ web browser (Vivaldi, Konqueror) is launched while Firefox is
already set as the default in the Firefox Preferences, it /will/ change
the default browser setting within Firefox, whether or not the TDE
Control Center defaults are empty or specify a default; and Thunderbird
will then not open any links, instead creating that Blogs & News Feeds
entry. This also automatically changes that Firefox config entry from
False, back to True.
Suggestions to fix this (so far):
* Change the setting mentioned in your previous message back to False,
setting it as the default again, exiting Firefox and Thunderbird,
then powering down or rebooting the system.
* Use another browser/e-mail combo. Debian no longer provides
SeaMonkey and the e-mail app that is now included with Vivaldi, is
still under Technical Preview, but is enabled in the Vivaldi
Snapshot release.
* Not use Konqueror as a file manager.
Testing continues.
