On Mac, clicking a hyperlink in email opens Opera but with no URL.
After a recent OS update (Mac OS High Siera 10.13.2 ), hyperlinks in a Thunderbird email message quit working. When clicking on a hyperlink, it does properly open the Chrome browser, but it does not insert the URL in the browser's address field. So, the browser just opens without going to the proper page.
I have tried all the remedies shown on the Mozilla support page that deals with hyperlinks not working.
Your help appreciated.

Sounds like an OSX problem with it's default browser to me.
Just found this on another forum. Success at last! Solved:
1. Open Safari Setting and change Safari to be the default browser
2. Close all Chrome instances, and reopen Chrome
3. When chrome asks you to set Chrome back to default: choose chrome to be the default browser.
Success
As I said, a problem with the settings for the OSX default browser.
