[Bug 57923] Re: Opening firefox by clicking on links in thunderbird breaks https

[Stephen D Kamm]

I am using Ubuntu 6.06 LTS desktop, 64-bit; updated as prompted by
Synaptic.

My e-mail client is mozilla-thunderbird; firefox is selected as "Web
Browser" in "Preferred Applications".

After experiencing Bug #89023, I "Completely Removed" firefox (and
thunderbird) using Synaptic.

After re-booting, I installed firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.10-0ubuntu0.6.06.2
and mozilla-thunderbird 1.5.0.9-0ubuntu0.6.06.  See details
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/89023.

Https function was restored in the case where firefox was already open,
however, in the case where firefox is closed, thunderbird is open, and I
click a link to an https site, the "Personal Security Manager" error
message referred above and in the initial Bug #89023 report appears.

I cannot open a link to https from within an e-mail unless firefox is
already open.

It appears that other browers, such as dillo and mozilla, work correctly
as "Preferred Application".
