But to be more complete:
Thunderbird has gconf as dependency so it should be available on your
system.
If it is, you could check via gconf-editor (if installed, since this is
no requirement) what is set as url-handler for http and https.

But the following command should show you the value anyway:

gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command

like:
wolfi@Hygiea:~> gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command
firefox %s

If all that is correct I'm interested in some more information and
probably a bugreport in bugzilla.novell.com
