Thunderbird (currently 128.3.2-1.fc40) is not being invoked properly from Firefox (currently 131.0.3-1.fc40): $ xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler mailto org.mozilla.thunderbird.desktop There's no override for Thunderbird under ~/.local/share/applications. With TB already running, when attempting to open a mailto: url from a web page on Firefox, after a few seconds I get a TB error about TB "already running or use a different profile". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Firefox and Thunderbird. 2. In Firefox settings, under Applications, select "Thunderbird (default)". 3. Navigate to a page with a mailto: URL e.g. https://www.w3docs.com/snippets/html/how-to-create-mailto-links.html and click on a mailto: link. 4. After a few seconds, a popup appears with the message: "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To use Thunderbird, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, restart your device, or use a different profile." 5. However, from the command line, "xdg-open example" correctly gets a new email editor window from the running TB opened. Actual Results: Invocation from Firefox seems to try to start a new TB process. Expected Results: Should invoke TB such that the new email window is opened if TB is already running. Not sure when this regressed as I don't click on mailto: often, but it used to work some time (months?) ago, potentially back in version 115.
I created a fresh VM of Fedora 40 KDE Plasma (using netinstall, so up-to-date), and dnf installed Firefox (version 131.0.3) and Thunderbird (128.3.3esr). Opening Thunderbird and Firefox, then clicking mailto: links in Firefox does indeed reproduce the bug. However, if you download and install Firefox 132 from mozilla.org, extract it, and launch *that* copy of Firefox, mailto: links work as expected. Just to confirm that this is a Fedora packaging issue. (unless it was fixed between FF 131 and 132??)
Still reproduces with packaged version 132.0-2.fc41
Any progress with this? It's a rather large annoyance. :/
