I had the exact same problem and tried all the fixes with no success. I had downloaded thunderbird and was running it in from my own ~/opt directory as I was always accustomed to doing as the repository versions always seemed to lag the latest in the past.
I got around the problem by installing thunderbird from Synaptics and by also installing thunderbird-gnome-support. It should still work the other way (and doesn't), but this may provide a clue. One other symptom of the problem is that Thunderbird Help doesn't launch from the menu (since it also launches browser) -- Thunderbird hyperlinks don't launch browser https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/363577 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
