Perhaps Firefox is no longer set as your default browser (it must be
reset after an upgrade)? Maybe Thunderbird is trying to open links in
some other browser that does not exist on the system anymore, or needs a
specific command to open which has not been specified (for instance, if
it had defaulted down to lynx or something).

Add the following line into prefs.js of your Thunderbird profile:

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "firefox");

I believe Thunderbird has changed its default behavior from some version.

I'm usually annoyed by IDEs because, for instance, they don't use VIM
as an editor. Since I'm hooked to that, all IDEs I've used so far have
failed to impress me.

Make sure you stop Thunderbird first.  If you edit prefs.js while Tbird 
is running, it will be overwritten when the next time you stop it.

I think the "recommended" way to do this is to put things like this in 
user.js.  Same for Firefox.

Cheers,
