Known issue. Maybe look for issues on the tb flatpak

It’s an issue that went away for a while and seems to have come back recently. I noticed it happen to me recently on Fedora Kinoite 41. Here’s the upstream issue: 1861859 - mailto: links do not open if thunderbird is already open .

One workaround reported there is enabling “D-bus session bus” for Thunderbird via Flatseal, and then restart Thunderbird. You may need to install Flatseal to try this if you haven’t already.
