> Not sure why all Thunderbird related bug reports are dumped into this Firefox bug.
> Firefox and Thunderbird have wildly different use case. While "remembering with which app to open certain files" isn't much of an issue for Firefox, it's big issue in Thunderbird when handling lots of email with attachments.

> As far as I can see, there is currently 3 TB bugs reported in last month for this exact issue, all marked as duplicate of this bug, which means users are reacting to it.

FWIW ... Until things are resolved between the Firefox/Thunderbird/Mozilla group there is a solution that works just fine.

Betterbird is a fork of Thunderbird and is working just fine. https://www.betterbird.eu/index.html

I'm just a regular guy who has use Thunderbird for years on the Beta channel and really like it, but little issues continue to add up and be a PIA for the users.

I was introduced to Betterbird and very impressed in that the Thunderbird 'bugs' are repaired in Betterbird.

I don't care if someone in the TBird group called the fix 'hacky' ... as it is fixed.

I'm not going to hold my breath for substantive changes within the Firefox/Thunderbird/Mozilla group to correct and repair.
