Max, though I queried several of the mime types (via "xdg-mime query
default *****), the one I missed was "x-scheme-handler/webcal" which was
still set to Evolution.
"xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/webcal
org.gnome.Evolution.desktop"
In Firefox check application associations in preferences (settings).
I was able to change the application association in Firefox which
allowed me to select the Thunderbird launch script in /usr/bin and then
process the URL.
Chrome does not have the same capability as Firefox for application
associations and relies on the system file associations.
If you save link target to disk, can you open the downloaded file by
thunderbird directly and by xdg-open? What is MIME type reported by the
"file" utility?
Yes, saving the file would have worked.
file "appointments (4).ics"
appointments (4).ics: vCalendar calendar file
Behavior might depend on your desktop environment.
GNOME desktop.
It is hard to reason whether it should work without details what you
have added to this file.
These were queried (via xdg-mime) then added or changed in the files listed:
text/calendar=thunderbird.desktop
text/x-vcard=thunderbird.desktop
application/mbox=thunderbird.desktop
message/rfc822=thunderbird.desktop
x-scheme-handler/mailto=thunderbird.desktop
Check entries related to evolution in this file and MIME types specified
in its .desktop file.
I missed the x-scheme-handler/webcal mime type which was the root of my
problem.
Thank you for the help and push to look closer.
