Can only respond to TB-FF hassle.

 From your Header, you are still using Thunderbird v2.0.0.23 (Lucid 
comes with TB 3.0.4) in which case you need to insert these 2 lines in 
the Configure Editor (Prefs>Advanced):


network.protocol-handler.app.http
network.protocol-handler.app.https

as "boolean true"




Also, make sure that you have both TB and FF as your default apps for 
internet access (System>Preferences>Preferred Applications) and make 
sure that the command line setting to activate each is correctly shown.
