** Summary changed:

- no hyperlink works when in Thunderbird
+ Unable to open hyperlinks in Thunderbird

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: thunderbird
  
- I am unable to "activate" hyperlinks (if activate is the correct word). 
Clicking on Hyperlinks in my program doesn't open up the link. Whether I'm in 
an e-mail letter which has a URL or I'm in a list with some hyperlink, pressing 
on the hyperlink doesn't do a thing. It doesn't even open my browser!The only 
way I can get the hyperlink to go to a site written is to copy/paste the URL 
after opening my browser. I tried holding the control key while clicking the 
hyperlink but got nothing.
- More info:
- I'm using gutsy gibon with Firefox as my default browser and Thunderbird as 
my e-mail program. Both are defined as such in system settings/default 
applications. As I said it isn't only URL hyperlinks that don't work. For 
example I have a spreadsheet with contacts. I used to be able to click a 
particular e-mail address in the spreadsheet and a "write" page would open in 
Thunderbird. Now - nada! When placing the mouse above any particular address it 
says the this is a "mailto:"; cell but nothing happens when clicking.
- The only hyperlinks that are working are those within ANY site on Firefox. 
Once on the internet all hyperlinks work within my browser.

+ Unable to open hyperlinks in Thunderbird without installing thunderbird-
