That's weird indeed. Can you try the following? 1. Close thunderbird, ensure it's not running any longer 2. Hand-edit that file (/home/tony/.thunderbird/mmhujxko.default/handlers.json) to change the value of the action for the https scheme from 2 to 4 3. Launch thunderbird and verify whether https links now open as expected in your default browser

This is true if I left click on the link or right click and select "Open link in browser". My default browser is Firefox. Just to confuse things it does work occasionally, the first time I open a link after loading Thunderbird. The problem still exists in safe mode.
