[Bug 1371943] Re: https links don't click

 

Further, clicking an https:// link will cause Thunderbird to go into a
state where it uses around 12% of the CPU (on my system) and starts
touching the hard drive every 1/2 second. Once in this state,
Thunderbird will not close properly, and must be killed with kill -15
after the GUI has been closed.

The Error Console shows no errors, warnings, or messages for this.

Title:
  https links don't click

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  http:// links work fine from Thunderbird (opening in Firefox), but
  https:// links will not.

  Use case:
  1. Click an https:// link in a received message
  1a: observe that nothing happens

  Expected behavior:
  1. Click an https:// link in a received message
  1a: The link should open in Firefox

  Again, regular, unencrypted http:// links work fine.

  In Preferences, under Attachments, in the Incoming tab, there is an
  entry for http:// but not for https:// in the list of "attachment"
  types. There is no way to add anything to this list.

  Thanks!

  Alan.
