[CoLoCo] Can't Open URLs in Thunderbird

[Nelson Ingersoll]

Until recently I had the same problem.  I made sure, as you have, that 
Hardy was associated as the default browser in System Settings.  It 
didn't help.  Look  in Thunderbird's about:config.  In 
Preferences/General/Config Editor find 
"network.protocol-handler.app.http" and make sure it also points to the 
correct version of FireFox.  Initially, for me, it was pointing to the 
absolute path to the older FireFox2 image.  I changed it to "firefox" 
and that appears to be wokring.

Good luck.
