Hmm, there should be possible set default browser for individual

Yes, there is....
xdg-settings is supposed to be the command to set that up. However, I've found
it to be buggy. So, you can manually edit
$HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
Changing this mimeapps.list does nothing. There are two defaults.list on my
system: In /usr/local/share/applications/ and in /usr/share/applications/
Changing defaults.list only works in /usr/share/applications/ and copying it to
$HOME/.local/share/applications/ has no effect either.
I should mention I'm running KDE. If you are using GNOME, you may want to try
installing gconf-editor and checking the settings for
desktop-->gnome-->url-handlers-->http and https.
I am actually running XFCE.
OK.... I just happen to have a system on which I've not run xfce. When I
clicked on the browser icon on the panel it informed me my default browser
wasn't configured. So, I chose /usr/bin/google-chrome.
The action of doing that modified several files....
~/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc was created and contains the line
WebBrowser=custom-WebBrowser
Then ~/.local/share/xfce4/helpers/custom-WebBrowser.desktop was created and it
contains
[egreshko@f18x helpers]$ cat custom-WebBrowser.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
NoDisplay=true
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=X-XFCE-Helper
X-XFCE-Category=WebBrowser
X-XFCE-CommandsWithParameter=/usr/bin/google-chrome "%s"
Icon=google-chrome
Name=google-chrome
X-XFCE-Commands=/usr/bin/google-chrome
There is also a google-chrome.desktop in that same directory but it was created
back in January and I think created when I installed chrome on that system.
OK, I see the same files but they do nothing with regard to launching
google-chrome from links in thunderbird.
