Thunderbird opens URL links with Firefox but only opens homepage, not link.
I have a Linux Mint operating system, I use both Firefox (52.9.0 ESR, 64bit) and Thunderbird (52.9.1, 64bit). When I open an email link, Firefox opens, but will only display the homepage, not the link. I have to cut and paste the link into Firefox to see it.
If I already have Firefox open, clicking on the email link will open a new window of Firefox, but only access the homepage.
I could find no remedy online for this problem.

I think you can fix this by adjusting an OS setting for the browser:

This worked. All I did was find /home/user/.local/share/applications/firefox-mozilla-build.desktop, and then add the "%u" to "exec firefox" command.
Now a tab opens to the link on the Firefox web-browser that is open, rather than a new Firefox window opening that only opens the homepage.
Thanks, Walter
