Preferred Applications

[Pasi Orovuo]

For Thunderbird add (or modify) following lines in 
~/.thunderbird/<default profile>/prefs.js

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "firefox");

The default profile is the random folder name generated by TB. Replace 
"firefox" with your preferred browser.

Pasi

P.S. I think there was a gui method to achieve this, but I fail to 
recall how it was done. Modifying prefs.js manually should do the job 
though.
