Just updated t-bird, and once again, it wants to open a completely new browser, other than using the running one.

I started searching, and found something about editing the config, and for the first one of the two they said to change, I find this:
network.protocol-handler.app.https;/usr/lib64/thunderbird-3.1/open-browser.sh
%s

a) there’s only /usr/lib64/thunderbird, and I’m on 60.something. Is this in my config as a user? is this something that should go away?

Please don’t tell me I have to create a whole new t-bird configuration….

    Probably years ago. I’ve just deleted them, and it *still* tries to open a new instance of firefox. I tried putting in /usr/bin/xdg-open, and restarting t-bird, and, since I’ve got it set to ask, it asks me which profile to use, rather than opening a tab in the running instance.

    Any ideas?

    I’m also annoyed with t-bird in C 6. Got that at home, and suddenly, unless I say “html”, at least half the time (that is, half the facepalm messages show a link in plain text, and half don’t….)
