Matt:I have the same problem on my laptop. No links or file types can be opened directly from within Thunderbird. Even saving attachments can be hit or miss. The problem does NOT exist on my desktop. Both run Xubuntu 24.04.3.
Copying links and pasting into firefox is my workaround. Saving files to a folder and then opening via finding in Thunar and double-clicking is also my workaround.
My preliminary research indicates that apparmour permissions for FireFox (I also have this problem with Firefox) and Thunderbird snap installations are misconfigured (neither app can "see" the relevant helper apps).
I researched snap/apparmour permissions, but have just not had the time to figure out the specific fixes that are needed to let these apps link to the rest of the system.
