Title:
  URLs in message body not opening in browser

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  When a message contains URLs, thunderbird successfully identifies and
  shows them as blue, underlined text.  However, when they are clicked
  on with the mouse, they do not launch a browser or even open a new tab
  in an already open browser.  I would expect that blue, underlined URLs
  in the body of a message would open in the browser.

  $ apt-cache policy thunderbird
