Yes, we know. You can try setting
`print.save_as_pdf.internal_destinations.enabled` to `true` in
about:config to ask Firefox to create internal links in the PDF, but be
aware that this functionality may be unreliable (which is why it's not
currently enabled by default). See bug 1729276 and the other issues
linked from there for more details.

Title:
  Printing to PDF file loses URLs/links

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird:
  Fix Released
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  1. File -> Print...
  2. Select "Print to File".
  3. Enter the file name.
  4. Enter the save-to folder.
  5. Leave the output format as-is, or select PDF if it's not the default.
  6. Hit the Print button.
  7. Open the resulting PDF in any PDF viewer.

  
  Actual results:

  The URLs within the document are not actually hyperlinks.  They are
  simply text, coloured blue and underlined.

  
  Expected results:

  Any clickable links on the original e-mail message should be retained
  when converting the document to PDF format.
