Re: Links in email(TBird) wont open in mozilla (or firefox)

I was having a similar problem where thunderbird did not know how to open 
links in any of my browsers (I have several installed).  I saw your post and I 
got motivated.  I found:

http://groups.google.com/group/linux.gentoo.user/browse_thread/thread/a357fa7e5952de70/65c2b1eb2e2afda1?lnk=st&q=thunderbird+links+broken&rnum=2&hl=en#65c2b1eb2e2afda1

It mentions two prefs:

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/usr/bin/firefox");

I don't know why these network.protocol-handler.app.http properties do not 
appear anywhere in the preferences dialogs.  This is especially bad on unix 
style OS's where there is no standard registery mapping file type to command. 
  Anyway, I have added the following lines to my prefs.js (after exiting 
thunderbird):

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http","/home/jack/bin/UseExistingMozilla.pl");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https","/home/jack/bin/UseExistingMozilla.pl");

That perl script is slightly modified one by Halcyon-X12.  It opens an 
existing browser instead of getting that annoying dialog box that asks one 
which profile one wants to use.  I changed to use firefox, and open a new tab 
instead of a new window.  If you are having problems, I would replace the 
script that is executed with one that echos the arguments into a log file of 
some sort for debugging purposes and make sure that the command actually works 
by executing it by hand.
