[Bug 1045226] [NEW] Thunderbird URLs don't open in configured browser

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Thunderbird 15 opens links in tabs within Thunderbird  instead of in an
external browser. There are settings to supposedly change this (one
google query away if you are interested in which one it is (and if you
are capable of fixing this bug, you already know what I am talking
about) and these do not work.

A solution for this problem is given when there are complete
instructions (e.g. which pref or user_pref modifications to make) and no
sooner than that.

One final request: can't you write a regression test for this (and other
basic features), because it seems rather unprofessional that this bug
has occurred over and over again, especially in an application which  is
now the default in Ubuntu?
