Kubuntu - How to get Thunderbird to open links in Firefox

Open Thunderbird

Go to the Edit > Preferences and click on the 'Config Editor..' button

In the pop-up window, type in the 'filter' box:

network.protocol-handler.app

That should show two entries:

network.protocol-handler.app.http

network.protocol-handler.app.https

These will probably both be set to x-www-browser or similar. Right click on eahc of them, select 'Modify' and change the value to /usr/bin/firefox instead.

No need to restart

p.s. if that doesn't work, then maybe Firefox is in an odd place - just use the command whereis firefox. This will produce a few locations - usually the first is the one to use.
