Thunderbird email links will no longer open on the Firefox browser. (I have to use another browser to open email links.)
Since a recent update (either for Firefox or Thunderbird, don't remember which), links in my Thunderbird emails will not open in Firefox. I can't even open the Thunderbird "help" link. In desperation, I installed Opera, and the email links work perfectly well. There seems to be some sort of disconnect between Thunderbird and Firefox.

I fixed this myself. You have to ensure that Firefox is the default browser. In the Firefox menu (maybe under Edit if you are running Linux) go to Preferences. Click "Advanced" then in the "General" tab click the button toward the bottom that says "Check now" and Firefox will automatically check if it is the default browser and, if it is not, ask you if you want to make it default. Answer "yes" to this question.

I have this problem on a Windows 7 machine, with Ff 7.0.1 and Tb 3.0.6. It works on my Windows XP machine with Ff 7.0.1 and Tb 3.0.6.
I also have this problem on a Windows 7 system with Thunderbird 8.0 and Firefox 8.0; was fine until the update that ran today taking them up to the new version. Firefox is my default browser, so it's not that.
Probably the problem is in Firefox. It does not work for links from other applications either, PDF, etc.
I too have this problem and I have got Firefox version 12.0 when is this problem going to be solved Firefox management.......
