Well, that's odd. Your strace file shows no occurrence of "mimeapps" or
"firefox".
That would seem to suggest there is some sort of T-Bird setting getting in the way.
Or, potentially, an extension.....but I don't see any indication of an extension
being called.
I just noticed that in my running T-Bird which I had already opened links from it
doesn't re-read the ~/.config/mimeapps.list file. (My previous test was in a VM
where T-bird was just started and no link had been clicked on)
So, could you post yours?
