links in email won't open

I updated to Firefox 5.0 today. I was reading email in Thunderbird and clicked on a link. Nothing happened, the page did not open. I then tried to right click and select open link in browser. Again, no window opened.

Please help, as properties allowing me to copy paste is not an option, and hunting down a page that I should be able to click and link to is very time intensive!!

Thanks!

... when using Thunderbird 5.0. If firefox is already open, links work ok.

thanks for replying!

I actually did have firefox open when clicking the links when I wrote about the issue I was having. However, the issue seems to have corrected itself, so YAY! I can't remember now if I rebooted before I asked for help, but I suspect I did not, and that was the solution; the next time I turned on my computer, it worked correctly.
