Dear Sir or Madam, I've tried everything I could reading all you various steps to try and fix this on my Windows XP system, but nothing worked. Please help. It used to work until about a month ago. I don't know if it's something to do with a repair I did to my windows system or if something changed in Thunderbird, but I can no longer just click on a link in the body of an email and a default browser window would open to that web page. I now have to right click and say "Copy location" open my browser and paste in the web address.

I am also having one other problem regarding threads in emails. I normally can search in the search box to find a previous email using a key word. Now when I search and want to open the message that has the information I want, it doesn't open that one. It just opens the inbox like I just started Thunderbird. Please advise. Thanks. (Maybe there is a way I can undo all of these "threads" and no longer have them. But I do not want the messages hidden if I do that. Thanks for your help.
