Hi All,

Fedora 41
thunderbird-128.4.3-1.fc41.x86_64
firefox-132.0.1-2.fc41.x86_64

Since upgrading from Fedora 39 to Fedora 41,
when I go into

    --> Firefox -> File -> eMail link

I get told that Thunderbird is already running,
which it is.

The exact steps on how to reproduce it are missing. Simply installing

handle email doesn't suffice. The firefox menu opens a thunderbird
compose window each time.

thunderbird, then configuring GNOME Shell default apps to let thunderbird

I'm on upstream Firefox 134.0a (Nightly) and File->Email Link does one of two things, if Thunderbird is running it opens a compose email window, if Thunderbird isn't running it starts Thunderbird and opens a compose email window.

F41:

Thunderbird running, Google-chrome running.

The above sequence opens g-mail window in Chrome.  Go figure.

How are you doing that? I'm on Chrome 131.0.6778.85 and I don't have any menus nor does pressing alt produce any.

The above sequence is:

--> Firefox -> File -> eMail link

Sorry, I thought you were saying you issued the command from Chrome. I tried your method with firefox 134.0a1 and for me it opens a Thunderbird compose window regardless of whether Chrome is running or not on F41. What I didn't notice before now, whether the Thunderbird compose window is opened the body of the mail is populated with the string about:home.

regards,
Steve
