I do not know if this is the easiest or smartest way to do it, but here
is how I got firefox to use my MUA of choice (mutt) for the mailto
links:
Type "about:config" into the location bar of firefox. Put "mailto" into
the filter box. You should see an option called
"network.protocol-handler.app.mailto". You can set this to the command
that you want firefox to use for the mailto links. I have set it to
"ff-mailto.sh". This is a two-line script which looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
exec konsole -e mutt "$@"
The "$@" is a placeholder for the arguments of the mailto line, i.e.
"to", "subject" (if given in the link), etc. I think you can use
something like
#!/bin/sh
thunderbird "$@"
to make firefox do what you want. You might have to pass additional
options to thunderbird in order to make it use existing thunderbird
processes instead of always starting a new one, but hopefully you will
find this in the thunderbird documentation.
