This is odd-- I have been so happy this week because after a good year
of waiting, T-bird and Firefox finally interoperate seamlessly, with no
need for me to write scripts, edit prefs.js or anything of that nature.
What I wonder is:
1) do you have Thunderbird and Firefox set as the default email
client/browser in your desktop environment (if GNOME or KDE)?
2) what does mozilla-launcher itself say (what is the unknown browser
it's looking for)?
Mozilla-launcher is just a script, so open it up in a text editor and
look at it.
Hope this helps,
Holly
