when trying to set firefox as the default browser it does not work.
therefore links in thunderbird emails don't open without hacking the prefs.js
file:

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


the error message given by firefox's error console is this:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE) [nsIJSCID.getService]"  nsresult:
"0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://browser/content/preferences/advanced.js :: anonymous :: line 535" 
data: no]

(caused by clicking on "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser
on startup - Check Now")
