Description Germano Massullo 2016-10-26 09:41:50 UTC
Open an e-mail message that contains an URL. Click on that URL. No browser will be opened, instead you will see that the system will start many Thunderbird processes on the background

thunderbird-45.4.0-1.fc24.x86_64

Comment 1 Jan Horak 2016-10-31 11:37:33 UTC
Thanks for the report. What desktop environment are you using?
Please attach output of following commands:
xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/http; xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/https

Comment 2 Germano Massullo 2016-10-31 22:26:22 UTC
Desktop environment
plasma-desktop-5.7.5-1.fc24.x86_64


$ xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/http; xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/https
mozilla-thunderbird.desktop
mozilla-thunderbird.desktop

Comment 3 Jan Horak 2016-11-01 07:17:24 UTC
Could you please check the default Web application in KDE settings?
Should be somewhere there: https://userbase.kde.org/System_Settings/Default_Applications

You might noticed that the output of xdg-mime showed that your default handler for http and https is the Thunderbird. This is strange, because the mozilla-thunderbird.desktop file we provide handles only message/rfc822 and x-scheme-handler/mailto mimetypes. 

You could also check content of mozilla-thunderbird.desktop (usually in /usr/share/applications/mozilla-thunderbird.desktop, but can be also in your home directory eventually, try to lookup the file in home too) for the MimeType value.

KDE Plasma settings are fine

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 23:37:57 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2017-08-08 19:01:04 UTC
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 7 Germano Massullo 2018-02-12 15:31:51 UTC
I am happy to say that the problem disappeared
