Bug Description

"Thunderbird" does not exist in Ubuntu [As a Package Identifier]. Apport lists the executable path as Thunderbird's.
The Window titles Choose Application > Another Application, do not either. It is apparent I have looked in the wrong part of the Apport report for what is needed in the package field. I would like to learn more about this.

Note: there is a related bug I have uploaded with an Apport file that may point to a common underlying problem titled "Ubuntu Studio Settings Default Applications; lists no installed Web browsers" Bug #2006440

To Reproduce
1. Load Ubuntu Studio Ubuntu Studio 22.04
2. Open Thunderbird
3. Open a email form window
4. Enter a reasonable email address and title
5. Enter some text in the body
6. Click [send]
This pop up is displayed
--------------
Choose an Application to open the HTTP link.
Choose other Application [Choose]
-------------
Click [Choose]
Find not a list of applications as expected, but instead the general file system > Recent [list of files].
leaving the non-OS savvy user with the question, "How do I find one of these?"

For example in looking for the Firefox executable which I prefer,
I had to open Konsole, and
use whereis to find
Firefox: /snap/bin/Firefox
However finding out which of the following executables to select and [open]:
* Firefox,
* Firefox.geckodriver, or
* geckodriver
is information I have not yet to find in Ask.Ubuntu, Mozilla help or a general Google search, thus indicating an even more frustrating if not hopeless search for that "Non-OS savvy user" above.

While not a system stopper, I look forward to a fix for other users and myself of this Amazing OS and Set Of Applications that you magical people have created. That is, a fix that keeps some part of Ubuntu Studio from nagging myself and others to "Choose an Application to open the HTTP link." then not providing a way of doing it.
