Thanks for the quick answer. More checking and I see that claws does
not work the same way as TB. In Thunderbird, if I want to open a URL
that is in a message I just double click on it. In claws a double click
does nothing.

However I have now found that if I right click on the URL and choose
'open in browser' then it will open Firefox for me as expected. Oddly I
find that this works whether I have the 'Use system defaults if
possible' checked or not.

Just a different way of working,

Thanks
