Using thunderbird as a browser - it really sucks

I got the popup that you wanted a donation.  Fine. I decided to donate.  It opened, in a charming (sarcasm) black and white set of windows in thunderbird, with virtually no contrast.  I cannot see it. 

I've got a perfectly good browser set up with colours and fonts as I want.  Why are you trying to make an email program run as a browser, because it does not work well.  (Paypal looks terrible, the spacing of the 2FA authentication was all over the place, the contrast was white on mostly white, and the survey at the end did not even work so I could not even say that the experience was 'fair')

This is on Thunderbird desktop   128.9.0esr (32-bit) , on Windows 10,

Just use Firefox or Brave as a browser.

The TB browser is bare-bones and not for full-time use. Links in TB should be opening your default browser anyway. If that's not happening, there are a couple of things to try.
