OK ... as you know this is a known bug ... please try this workaround:

add an executable script (e.g. /usr/local/bin/start-browser.sh):

#!/bin/sh

# set your preferred browser here
BROWSER=/usr/bin/x-www-browser

unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH

exec $BROWSER $@


... adapt your browser accordingly ... 

and choose *manual* integration method when running:

  # dpkg-reconfigure thunderbird 

... then uncomment and adapt in /etc/thunderbird/global-config.js
like this:

/*
   uncomment this if you want your browser configured as
   your default by means of the debian alternatives mechanism
*/
pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http","/usr/local/bin/start-browser.sh");
pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https","/usr/local/bin/start-browser.sh");


... and let me know if it works.


btw, if there is already a backport of icedove ... use that one
... thunderbird 1.5.0.7 has outstanding security issues ... the
global-config.js path would then in /etc/icedove/global-config.js
... and 

 # dpkg-reconfigure icedove

obviously.
