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 toFalse, 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.
Look also to see if environment variable BROWSER is set, as it was in my .bashrc (I had apparently set it long ago, then forgotten), causing me some confusion until I found it.

No presence of BROWSER in .bashrc.
Do echo $BROWSER to see if /something/ set it. :-)
No response to that command, not from my home directory and not from /
