Before the last Firefox update, when I clicked a link in an email it opened a tab in Firefox. Now nothing happens and I have to copy the link and open a new tab in Firefox and paste in the link. How can I fix this so that the link opens directly? Thank you.

Thank you for asking. As it happens, I just installed another Firefox update, for 82.0, and the problem has been resolved. I was using Mozilla Thunderbird and Windows Live Mail, which is why I concluded that the problem was the browser, not the email client.

Version 82.0.2, first offered to Release channel users on October 28, 2020

Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the toolbar. Then Help > About Firefox will tell you what version you have. WARNING: and install any updates.
