20 Yes, these are the same settings that I set in about:config but they
21 didn't work for me. Also I set
22 network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http(s) = true to be sure that
23 thunderbird tried to open links by showing warning message. But that
24 didn't help. I tried also this from command line: "/usr/bin/firefox
25 http://www.somesite.com" and it worked OK.
