To specify default Browser for links in Thunderbird


A nice post by the name "Forcing Thunderbird to open links in Firefox"

This post talks about how to specify / force Thunderbird to open links in Firefox in Ubuntu. For sometimes now, I had this problem of not being able to directly open links from Thunderbird. The same effect can be achieved if we do the following.


The real problem was that I had not specified the default system browser in System Preferences. 
Go the Preferred Applications and specify the browser (Chrome/Firefox/Opera/Konqueror/ etc)
System->Preferences->Preferred applications

Open Thunderbird and all your links will now be opened in your default browser.
 

HOPE THAT HELPS SOMEONE OUT THERE
