Is the default browser in your system set to Epiphany, or Firefox?
If need be, you can open the mime-types associations in Thunderbird.
You will need to shut down Thunderbird and find the file in the
'.thunderbird' directory in your home directory (I unfortunately do not
remember what it is called) and can add/change the 'http' entries.

If you've got epiphany, there's a good chance you're using GNOME. Try
going to the GNOME Control Panel=>Advanced=>Standard Applications, and
changing the default browser there.

As far as I know, that's the setting T-bird uses if found.

Hope this helps,
Holly

In ~/.thunderbird there will be a directory with ".default" appended to
it. In that folder create a file called user.js and add these lines:

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

Substitute the path to firefox for mozilla, of course. Restart Thunderbird.
