I can't find the option to open links in emails in my web browser. Left-clicking on a link does nothing. I have to right-click and select Open URL, which does open the link in Firefox.

Where exactly is the option to pair this behaviour to left-click in KMail 5.3?

I know it works. But for mine it has stopped working, so I would like to know where the actual settings are for this behaviour in KMail.

It has stopped working for me as well for a while now. I was wondering whether anyone else has the problem. It used to work fine.

Also on KMail 5.3

I haven't seen this in a while. Did you update software while KMail was running?

Nearly always. Kontact is nearly always running while I am using the computer.

In that case, open a terminal, and issue "kdeinit5". It will restart most session services transparently (no user-visible issues). After that, do left clicks work? You may want to restart KMail too.
