Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To use Thunderbird, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, restart your device, or use a different profile.
when clicking an email link this is shown

How do I make Thunderbird instead open a new email?
This is on Fedora

I don't understand. Is this a bug? In Fedora? In the web page coding? It seems to be a new problem. I've used mailto links in the past without this.
Using 115.8.1 (64-bit) on Fedora 39 and FF 124.0.1 (64 bit)

Hello? Is there an answer out there for my issue?
As nearly as I can tell, I have the correct default app settings in both Firefox and Fedora. In any case, the problem is that Thunderbird doesn't seem to respond properly to 'mailto' rather than mailto now knowing what mail client to use.
So why can't I use mailto with Thunderbird without first shutting down the open instance of Thunderbird? There seems to be lots online about Thunderbird not having shut down properly, but that's not the problem here.
Thanks.
I have the same problem in linux mint 21.3 when I try to send a Firefox link and this is something new (during the last 10 days aprox)
