Occasionally something changes in my Thunderbird v38.6.0 profile folder, causing hyperlinks to become inactive. In other words, clicking a hyperlink does absolutely nothing--no error messages, no anything. Changing the default browser has no effect whatsoever.
Reverting to a previously saved profile folder solves the problem every time. This is forcing me to backup that folder pretty frequently.
Unfortunately I'm not knowledgeable enough about Tbird to detect what's changing. Has anyone else suffered this problem? If so, have you found a solution?
My OS and hardware are listed in my profile, but the long and short of it is--MS Surface Pro 3 with 8 GB, running an up-to-date version of Win 8.1.
I hasten to add that I've searched this forum and the Mozilla Support forum and have not found this problem described anywhere (doesn't mean it's not there, just that I can't find it).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Larry
