Yes, these are the same settings that I set in about:config but they
didn't work for me. Also I set
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http(s) = true to be sure that
thunderbird tried to open links by showing warning message. But that
didn't help. I tried also this from command line: "/usr/bin/firefox
http://www.somesite.com"; and it worked OK.
Best regards,
Zhen.
