Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2047

Thunderbird hyperlinking to the default browser does not function correctly. [btw. I am running on the Testing release of manjaro (Linux)]. I receive the following error message:

Failed to execute default web browser.
Input/output error.

I have created the following .local profile for Thunderbird:

Firejail profile for Thunderbird Customizations

noblacklist ${HOME}/Dropbox/Thunderbird
noblacklist ${HOME}/Desktop

whitelist ${HOME}/Dropbox/Thunderbird
whitelist ${HOME}/Desktop

NOTE: everytime I open Thunderbird and attempt a link, it now requests I redefine my Default browser (Chromium).

Any ideas/ help are most appreciated.

In my case the problem was with a plugin/ add-on in both firefox and chromium. Once I removed DuckDuckGo privacy essentials from the troubled browser, the default browser function worked!
