Thank you for your bug report, indeed that seems similar to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=512305
In fact the thunderbird code seems a copy and mention firefox.desktop but that isn't going to be right https://sources.debian.org/src/thunderbird/1:78.4.1-1/browser/components/shell/nsGNOMEShellService.cpp/?hl=205#L205 ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #512305 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=512305 ** Changed in: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1903805 Title: Thunderbird snap keeps asking to be the default email client Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Thunderbird snap 78.4.1 2020-11-09 (93) running on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS The latest version keeps asking at every start whether I want to "Use Thunderbird as the default client". I do. So I keep "Email" and "Always perform this check when starting Thunderbird" checked and click "Set as Default". When I quit and restart Thunderbird I'm prompted the same question again. I would expect Thunderbird to set itself as default and no longer ask this question. Instead, Thunderbird either fails to set itself as default or it asks the question despite being the default (not sure how to distinguish).
