The settings to force Firefox to handle links are in the prefs.js file. This 
file is in a hidden directlry in your Home directory called: ".thunderbird/[a 
bunch of random characters].default/prefs.js. The "[random charachers]" should 
be replaced by whatever Thunderbird generated there when it installed the 
configuration files. ITHis will be unique to each user.  

pen the file using whatever editor you feel comfortable and add the following 
lines.

Note: These three are each all on one line, but they'll probably get wrapped 
during the email send.

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp","/home/your user 
name/firefox/firefox");

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http","/home/your user 
name/firefox/firefox");

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https","/home/your user 
name/firefox/firefox");
