Angry Hyperlinks not working.


I must have done something in setup and can't recall how to get back there, but all hyperlinks refuse to open now in the browser?

Also, have you tried pinging a site to test that your internet connection is working?

Zorin 17.1, upgraded from 16 initial install. The problem was not there from first using it, but I altered something, maybe in "Linux Help" installed program, but cannot replicate where?

Internet is fine, other access works and internal Firefox links work fine. Brave is the browser I use as default. If I click on a link inside of say Telegram or Thunderbird, nothing happens.

Did you view attached image?

Thunderbird, at least, has a setting to indicate what to do when you click a link. Mine is set to use Firefox.
Not in front of it right now, tho, so I can’t tell you where it is.

You either don't have xdg-utils installed which is unlikely or didn't notice that I made a typo - xdg-settings, not xdg-settigns. Sorry about that.
