I control this using user.js files for both Firefox and Thunderbird.

For example, my Firefox user.js (located in my profile folder) is:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.mailto","/usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird");


And my Thunderbird user.js is:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox");

Hope this helps.
