Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [ticket:22975 cypherpunks]:
 > `network.protocol-handler.external-default` [1], it not just prevents
 users to open a link by accident but also minimizes the risk of phishing
 (hopefully most Thunderbird users don't just copy paste them, for people
 who insists on opening links, there's still a way left by right-clicking
 on the link and to just use the context menu).

 My mistake, `Search for` and `Open Link in Brwoser` from the context menu
 is also disabled.
