When reading some emails in Thunderbird, Firefox fires up and loads
dozens of tabs with small pictures, that are present in the selected
email. This is quite annoying and I can't seem to figure out how to
stop it. Any suggestions?

It's normal to have firefox open a new tab when you press a link in
thunderbird. Are you sure you're not pressing a link somehow .. if not
with the mouse then perhaps with the <return> key??

I see this on occasion with https, but not with http links. Upon
investigation I discovered that network.protocol-handler.external.https
was set to "true". If it is set to false, then this doesn't happen. I
also noticed that a couple of my extensions tried to open their update
location in firefox when this was set to true. Unfortunately, if it is
set to "false", I can't click on an https link that is included in an
email and have it open in firefox either.

I haven't found a complete solution, but at least I know what to change
when to do what I need to do properly. Actually, I usually just copy
and paste the few https links that I get in email that I really want to see.

Add two new strings in Edit/Preferences/Advanced Config Editor:

network.protocol-handler.app.http firefox
network.protocol-handler.app.https firefox

set network.protocol-handler.external-* to false except
n.p-h.external-default

When you click on an http(s) link, it then fires up Firefox... :@)

I hope this helps.

Thanks, I'll give this a try... Actually

network.protocol-handler.external.http was set to true, so I'll set it to false and see if that fixes it...
