Clicking an email link on a webpage doesn't open Thunderbird

All of sudden, clicking a email link on a webpage in any browser on my computer doesn't open Thunderbird, in fact, nothing happens. Thunderbird is set in Windows as my default email program. If I change the default email program to something different, then clicking on a email link in a webpage works. Switching back to Thunderbird as the default email program doesn't work either.

I am using the following operating system:

Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2 Installed on ‎6/‎12/‎2021 OS build 19045.4780 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0

The following version of Thunderbird:

128.1.1esr (64-bit) Release notes Thunderbird Windows MSIX packagethunderbird-MSIX - 1.0

My main browsers are Chrome Chrome is up to date Version 128.0.6613.120 (Official Build) (64-bit) and Firefox 130.0 (64-bit).

Can someone help me fix this problem?

Thank you.

Yes, it was. And it wasn't working in Chrome either.
