[RFC] What causes the "open link with..." dialog? #31

Closed secretmango closed 1 year ago

secretmango commented 1 year ago

Problem

Clicking Links always results in a window, asking if I really want to open that link. This is quite useless combined with cleaned HTML, as I wont click on any embedded image-links.

Cant find the entry

I checked browser.link.open_newwindow", 3, but switching it to "0" does not change the behavior. (is "3" a bug? Comment says "Thunderbird only supports 0")

what causes that popup, do you know that?

Hi @firefoxlover, it's security.external_protocol_requires_permission, added here in TB v91.0 (https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js/commit/2d82b7cc0cfe432ccbb5c30656f5386cb53ef7f2). The idea is not to prevent clicks on embedded image-links, but mostly on an URL containing a scheme locally supported by a software installed system-wide.

Bye 👋

EDIT :

is "3" a bug? Comment says "Thunderbird only supports 0"
