Re: Firefox insists to be default !?

Hi all,
After the recent upgrade of Firefox (and Thunderbird) in oldoldstable

though I have set it as default in Mate's default applications, and
respond to that asking by click on 'dont ask me again'.
Furthermore, Thunderbird is also set as a default email client. However,
if I click on a weblink in Thunderbird mail, another Thunderbird session
opens (instead opening Firefox). And when I close both software, and
return to Mate control panel to check again for default applications ...
voila ... Thunderbird seems as magically selected for both mail client
and web browser there!
How to prevent that misbehaviour? All worked well with previous versions
of Firefox and Thunderbird. What went wrong with new versions?

Perhaps you might be interested in subscribing to, and, posting to, the
firefox mailing list, and/or the mozilla mailing list, at
https://groups.io/g/firefox-support
and
https://groups.io/g/mozilla
respectively.
Out of interest, with the firefox issue, I have had the same problem on
my cellphone firefox installation, so, it appears to be a problem not
limited to Debian installations of firefox.
