I am using Thunderbird 38 on Windows 7. The default web browser is set to IE. However, I want to use Firefox when I click on links inside of Thunderbird. How do I make this change?

This is not an otpion. IE must stay as the system default. In previous versions of Thunderbird you could dictate a browser change. I am hoping someone can figure out how to make this happen in 38
