[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1425972@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When I click a link from an email it does not work any more.

Instead of opening the link in a new tab, Firefox opens a new empty
window and does not follow the link.

If I change the default browser for my desktop from Firefox to Chrome,
then Chrome can open the link fine.

I have started seeing this today since firefox was upgraded from v35 to
36.

My email client is Mozilla thunderbird at the latest stable version.
