In Edit/Preferences/Advanced/Config Editor check for lines:

network.protocol-handler.app.http

network.protocol-handler.app.https

They should both be strings and be set to "firefox" (without quotes) or 
whatever command brings up FF3...

Respect the elders. Teach the young. Co-operate with the pack.
Play when you can. Hunt when you must. Rest in between.
Share your affections. Voice your opinion. Leave your Mark.
