Firefox 45.7.0, Windows 10. For the last few days when I click a hyperlink it opens twice. Once as a new tab in Thunderbird, and once as a new window in Thunderbird.

One more note, if I right click and select open link in browser, it also opens additional tab in existing window, plus a new window. 

Also if I switch my default browser to Edge it works normally, but when I switch back to Firefox the problem returns.
