    Sorry, I thought you were saying you issued the command from Chrome.
    I tried your method with firefox 134.0a1 and for me it opens a
    Thunderbird compose window regardless of whether Chrome is running
    or not on F41. 
    What I didn't notice before now, whether the Thunderbird compose
    window is opened the body of the mail is populated with the string
    about:home.
