Firefox & Thunderbird v16 links not opening - FIXED

[MickZA]

Just picked up a problem with links in Thunderbird not opening in Firefox after last nights Fedora 17 updates. Fixed by disabling the Thunderbrowse addon in Thunderbird.

edit: IIRC I installed the Thunderbrowse addon to fix the same problem back in Fedora 14

This may be related to something that changed in Firefox. I noticed that in Firefox 16.0.0, right click - "Open Link In New Tab" did nothing. Cmd + Click (on Apple - should be Ctrl+click on PC) worked. 16.0.1 fixed that.

Tested again today as Firefox 16.0.1 was in last nights updates. Definitely a problem with the Thunderbrowse addon although, as I say, I'm pretty sure the only reason I installed it was to fix the selfsame problem at some point when I was running Fedora 14, can't recall the Firefox/Thunderbird versions.
