Thunderbird open link only in Firefox, how change this

Hello
I am a user of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed 20241028 (KDE Plasma: 6.2.2), recently about 3-4 months.
I have no problem with the system, but one thing is unacceptable.
How to change Thunderbird so that links open in my main browser (Opera), and not in Firefox. (Firefox, I need it in a few situations, but it is not used on a daily basis).

Please help.

this seems to be a bug in KDE/Plasma, as I am on GNOME, and this doesn’t happen (it opens the default browser)

Did you set Opera as your standard browser in Systemsettings?

4

yes, have opera as a flatpak, set it to default browser, and then it opened in opera.

Yes:

This link might help, sounds more complicated when it actually is.

I am sure there are other ways, but I don’t use Thunderbird and can’t check.
