if you haven't already done so, install the about:config extension in
Thunderbird, then see what

network.protocol-handler.app.http shows.   If it is missing, add it and
set it to the desired browser which in my case is /usr/bin/firefox.  
The 'official' way doesn't seem to work but this worked for me.   Also,
do one for https also if you ever use that type of a URL.

One of the updates to firefox seems to have broken the one that used to
work requiring this 'patch'.
