It seems like since I got Windows 10, my browser does not open when I click anything in a thunderbird email. It just opens up in Thunderbird which is small and hard to read. On my aol mail web app on my firefox browser, of course it opens up in the browser. I have firefox set as a default. I have researched and googled this problem but have never found an answer. Can you help me with this?

Today I discovered you need to right click on View in Browser words then click on open in browser and the site opens right up in my firefox browser. Still inconvenient to have to do this. I should just click on the email itself and it should up in firefox.

The reason this happened was because I had ThunderBrowse as an add on. I uninstalled it and voila it works like it always did. Thanks for your response.
