      I accidentally allowed gmail to open mailto links on pages and it has since become the default app for that. How can I change that and get back to Thunderbird as the default app for email links?

        @rejuvenator That varies with your desktop environment.

            Is there anything under opera://settings/content handlers
            I can't tell because I have that disabled and an xfce desktop.

            ~/.config/mimeapps.list has this in both sections
            x-scheme-handler/mailto=thunderbird.desktop;

              @s390g2 Yes. Gmail was there and I've removed it. Now Thunderbird opens the links again. Thanks a lot!
