I noticed the same behavior with Thunderbird (see post in this newsgroup 
on Feb 5). The fact that system preferences are not taken into account 
is one thing but can be undestood as Firebird / Thunderbird claim to be 
platform independent and rely on their own preferences.

More deeply, it seems that Thunderbird / Firbird are unable to use Mac 
OS X application "bundles".

I posted a bug on this issue.
