Thunderbird launches a browser when image URL's are in the message... kubuntu-users Digest, Vol 28, Issue 19

[WJ Seidl]

Doug:
There is an extension for Thunderbird called "Open all Links 0.3.1"
Did you download and install that?
Now might be a good time to check your extensions and add-ons.
Looking at my "Options" menu, I didn't see anything in TB that would 
cause such an action.
Check Firefox as well, and make sure your extensions for your browser 
aren't enabling it.
Hope that helps,
WJS

Thunderbird launches a browser when image URL's are in the message

I'm not sure when this started happening but Thunderbird started 
automatically launching a Firefox "Tab" for every URL to an image 
embedded in an html email.  If I read an email with many URL's to images 
I get tons of tabs with the those darn tiny  images, one tab per image. 
  I don't see a configuration option in  Thunderbird's  "about:config" 
to turn this off.  Am I missing the obvious?

Thanks
