You can write a script that takes the contents of the clipboard [1], |
| 8 |
possibly makes sure it is a valid URL, and then runs firefox with that |
| 9 |
arg the way you want (ie. specific profile and new tab inside existing |
| 10 |
instance, I'm sure firefox can do it if palemoon can). |

Then bind the script to a short key sequence using your favorite desktop |
| 13 |
environment method. Now, to follow a link from from thunderbird, do |
| 14 |
"Copy Link Location" from the context menu, then type the key sequence. |
| 15 |
It is longer than a single click, but not prohibitively so, IMO. |

[1] the xclip program is handy for that |
