Since the latest Thunderbird update 68.5.0 when I click on links in received messages they do not open in the browser. When I click on the link nothing appears to happen. I've tried it in Thunderbird safe mode and there's no difference. It worked fine prior to the update.

Thanks, Matt. Weirdly, after not working all morning, it has started working again. I have no idea why.

This is usually caused by anti virus products. however there are other causes. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/hyperlinks-in-messages-not-working

My cynicism perhaps, but your anti virus probably got an update this morning.
