I've just spend the last couple of hours trying to figure out a fairly similar problem! Under KDE3, Thunderbird opens URL links with Konquerer (the default browser for opening a URL), and I wanted to use Firefox. So I figured the easiest way would be somewhere in kde's config, changing the default browser that it uses to open URL's..

+I've developped an evolution to the firefox-helper.sh script.
+
+It works with KDE, gnome, graphical console, opens new windows or new tab when necessary, etc... (solves zcat(1) problem)
+
+I'm very proud of it XD, even if it's a short script...

+
+don't forget to modify variable FIREFOX_PATH to put your firefox path
+
+(and if you use firefox under 0.9 you may have change the call of firefox as YacinNadji says)
+
+enjoy!
