Thunderbird (an email client) was calling Firefox (a browser), but it didn't 
work because Firefox wasn't there.  You installed Firefox.  Now when 
Thunderbird calls Firefox, Firefox is there and so it opens.

Dotan is right.  You really do need to learn how to use Google and Wikipedia.  
Learn Google first because asking about something in Google often brings up a 
link to an entry in Wikipedia, but the reverse is not true.

Google is a search engine.  There is no point in giving it a whole sentence.  
You were trying to find out what Firefox and Thunderbird were.  So just put 
the one word.  Put only key words.  It is easier on the typing fingers!

Contrary to what one would expect, the advanced setting is actually easier to 
use than the basic one, so I would advise, anyhow initially, clicking on 
<advanced> and using the guidance it gives you.  Then watch what it puts as 
search terms in the search window and learn from it what you could have put.

In general, you will get more sympathetic responses to your requests for help 
if you can say what you have already done to help yourself.  Otherwise you 
risk being told to RTFM.  And no, I can't translate for you!  There are words 
that nicely brought up young ladies did not say in the dim and distant past 
when I was young. ;-)  Ask a computer literate male friend.  Or, even better, 
Google it.  It came out first in the list when I looked just now.
