Bug Description

Changing the default browser using System->Preferences->Preffered Application does not affect Thunderbird. This is in Dapper flight 4

I have the default browser set to Firefox. For some reason all links in Mozilla thunderbird open in Galeon. Thunderbird respected the default browser in Breezy.

Yes, I can confirm this, though in my case it was Launching Konqueror when installed (it launches anything but Firefox it seems ...). Uninstalling Konqueror return it to the expected behavior.
