Browser doesn't want to open email software

Davidovsky · Jan 3, 2024

I am using Google Chrome and Thunderbird.
When I go to the Google Contacts and click to the email adress browser opens me GMail window where I can create new email to the recepient.

I want when I cilck to the email adress that Thunderbird start email creation.
What should I do to Thunderbird open when I click on email adress in Google Contacts?

I want to notify you when I click on email adress which I found on any website Thunderbird opened. Exeception is only on Google Chrome.

Not gonna happen from within a Google page..., you need to import your Google contacts into Thunderbird.

Google wants you to use their software and services so as Edwin has already said this will never happen from a Google/Gmail page as they want you to use Gmail.
