Aha!  You're not clicking on an email mailto: address in a page, like I
thought you were doing.  You're emailing someone a link to the page
you're browsing (something I'd never done, and never noticed the
feature was there).

I'd expect that at some stage you got to select your default mail
program it'll use, and if you ticked something as your default, it'll
forever afterwards use that same program without asking you to pick
something to do the job.  At least that happened here (on older
software versions).

I do not use Firefox as my default browser. I was just trying to reproduce the OP's problem.

I found the default setting and it pointed to Chrome. However, when I changed it to Thunderbird, I got the OP's problem - Thunderbird is already running but it's not responding...

I do not care at this point as I am perfectly fine using Chrome to gmail in an unlikely case I will need this function. The sent mail will appear in my Thunderbird after the next download from the server (Gmail) anyway.

Cheers
Frank
