Via PM I asked you to check if gnome-open http://some.url gives you any
success.
But that command gave you only an error message about missing libraries
IIRC.
If that's still the case, Thunderbird will never open Firefox to open
the URL. You have to fix that missing library.
So have you done what I told you in my last statement?
"So you have to install the package avahi-glib at least."

OK, that's the reason. gnome-open uses the very same function call as
Thunderbird to open an URL.
Even if you use KDE the requirements should be fulfilled what doesn't
seem to be the case on your system:

Hygiea:~ # ldd `which gnome-open` | grep avahi
        libavahi-glib.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libavahi-glib.so.1
(0x00002b1908901000)
        libavahi-client.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libavahi-client.so.3
(0x00002b1908b06000)
        libavahi-common.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libavahi-common.so.3
(0x00002b1908f4f000)

Hygiea:~ # rpm -qf `which gnome-open`
libgnome-2.20.0-6
Hygiea:~ # rpm -qR libgnome | grep avahi
libavahi-client.so.3()(64bit)
libavahi-common.so.3()(64bit)
libavahi-glib.so.1()(64bit)

Ignore the 64bit stuff for your system.
So you have to install the package avahi-glib at least.
