Brand new installation, untouched by human hands, of Kubuntu 10.04 with 
Thunderbird 3.0.4 freshly installed from the Ubuntu-Canonical 
repository: the entries

network.protocol-handler.expose.http
network.protocol-handler.expose.https

*are *both shown in Edit Configuration.

No ifs or buts - they are there.

In System Settings>Default Applications the Mail Client is set to 
Thunderbird and the Browser is set to Firefox both with the correct 
command line statements to start them.


And just to get rid of any variables: I have a 32-bit system, and both 
Kubuntu and Ubuntu 10.04 are FRESH installs, NOT upgrades.
