Thunderbird no longer opens links

Show all headers | View raw

Hi, since a few days, hyperlink no longer works in my Thunderbird. When 
I click a hyperlink in a message, Chromium (my system's default web 
browser) should open and display the link. This has been working fine 
for long, but now it no longer happens.

I checked everything that's pointed out in a Mozilla Support web page 
[1], but didn't find what's causing the issue:

- I checked that the operating system's default browser is specified. 
 From KDE Plasma System Settings -> Applications -> Web Browser, I see 
that chromium is specified.

- I checked that no application is specified for the HTTP / HTTPS 
content type. In Thunderbird -> Edit -> Preferences -> Attachments -> 
Incoming I had two actions, one for HTTP the other for HTTPS, both 
pointing chromium. I tried and deleted both. When I clicked on a 
hyperlink in a message, a popup asked for an applications to open it, I 
chose chromium flagging the remember checkbox, and the action for HTTP 
content type was recreated, but the link did not open.

- I checked for an incorrect preference like 
network.protocol-handler.external-default or any other preference 
beginning with network.protocol-handler.warn-external, but I have no 
such preference.

- I checked for interference from an extension, running Thunderbird in 
Thunderbird Safe Mode, but the problem persisted.

The only other suspect I have is apparmor, which was installed in a 
recent security update. But can this be the reason?

Thanks & Regards!
