Hi all,

Debian Jessie, 64 bit here.

I have been using Thunderbird (installed in /usr/local/) and working 
perfectly fine with Iceweasel.
Recently I tried to use google hangout and video chatting feature do 
not work with current stable Iceweasel, so I installed Firefox 
separately (in /usr/local/). I set firefox as default internet browser 
but the problem is that when I click the link in the e-mail firefox 
opens new window but it doesn't open the link.


Any way to fix this?


Thanks.

I am still on Wheezy, but I use Mozilla Firefox and Thundrbird in 
/usr/local/ as you do.


In Thunderbird, check Edit/Preferences.  On the Attatchments/Incoming 
tab do you have an entry for 'HTML Document'? Mine is set to 'Use 
Firefox (default)'.


HTH

Have you searched the archives?  Start with this recent discussion:

Open URLs in Icedove emails in Iceweasel, how?
