First of all, thank you to all who replied. By piecing together info
from several posts made back to the group on this topic, I was able to
find a trail to the problem.

In Tools/Options/Advanced/Advanced Configuration, I had to click on
"Config Editor", then find this line:

network.protocol-handler.external-default

It was set to "False",and changing it to "True" brought my hyperlinks
right back to life.

Again, thanks to those who helped!

If you had replied in the thread to which this refers, it would help
people know what you're talking about...

I'm a little surprised it's set to False in the first place.
Mine is set to True and True is the default for that
settings. Someone would have to mess around to break it.

I would say a Gremlin did that. They like flipping booleans
around when you're not looking.
