Thunderbird 12.0 does not open when I use "send link" in Firefox 12.0. Thunderbird is working and running. The usual new mail window does not appear.

In Firefox: Edit → Preferences → Applications → mailto is set to "Use Thunderbird Mail".

I tried to set this to "Always ask", when I try to send something, I can select "Thunderbird", but nothing happens, when I press "OK".

(Also, in about:config "network.protocol-handler.external.mailto" is set to "true".)

By the way, I use Gnome instead of Unity. Can this be the reason for this behaviour?

Go to the application called "Preferred Applications" and make sure you have Thunderbird selected as your mail client. – Dymatic May 13 '12 at 19:33
