Package: thunderbird
Version: 1:68.7.0-1
Severity: important

Whenever I click on a hyperlink, like inside a message, or even at the
"Mozilla"-Link of the "Help > About Thunderbird" dialog, the link will not be
opened by my browser. Instead, "Verifying the feed..." gets displayed at the
taskbar, immediately followd by "https://mozilla.org/ is not a valid feed."

It seems that Thunderbird handles all links as if they were feeds.

Not being able to open links by clicking on them but being forced to copy them
over into the browser is a major usability issue.

I am able to reproduce this bug with a fresh profile.
