Not sure what got updated that broke the functionality, but now whenever I click on an html link in an email in thunderbird, it will not open the link up in my browser (firefox). This used to work great.
anyone else seen this?

This happened to me a long time ago. I think I fixed it by opening ~/.thunderbird/*.default/prefs.js while thunderbird was not running and adding:
Code:
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");
