!! [HTTP] handler issues

Set the preference

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

and point it at the launcher for Firefox on your distribution.

In addition, so Thunderbird can redirect some additional protocls ([FTP] and [HTTPS]) add the following:

  user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/location/to/firefox");
  user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "/location/to/firefox");

As well as that, you can define another [FTP] program to handle the [FTP] transactions (though [Mozilla] handles them just fine, try the following:

   user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "/location/to/ftpprogram");

!! Thunderbird extensions

Some extensions recommended by various users. Right click and save as to install these, because if you use MozillaFirefox it assumes it is an extension for itself.
