That's completely wrong thinking as there is no suite of those products, they just happen to come from the same community behind it but are two separate applications for either browsing or message handling. They don't even want to be a suite, they both just want to do their own thing as well as possible. If you want a real suite, use SeaMonkey.
That said, Firefox uses the default mail application set in GNOME for launching mailto: links, so be sure to have Thunderbird set there if you want it to open instead of kmail, which currently seems to be set there.
BTW, does anyone know if default app settings for browser/mail/etc. are standardized in a freedesktop.org manner? It would be so nice if apps from both sides of the large desktop environments (and even more) would just automatically respect the same settings for those default apps and e.g. open the same browser when opening URLs.

if this is fixed or not, I'm posting from my openSUSE 11.0).
I don't think that needs "fixing". Firefox should use thunderbird by
default, obviously, as it is the other half of the suite. However, you
should be able to change that.
