Firefox, Thunderbird & default programs

| I'm running Debian Sarge and I'm having this weird little problem that I
can't fix. I upgraded from Mozilla to Firefox and Thunderbird but those
two programs don't seem to quite recognize it!
If I click on a mailto: link in Firefox, it tries to open Mozilla -
which I have uninstalled the mail parts (a complete uninstall uninstalls
too much). If I click on a web link in Thunderbird, it opens Konqueror.
I tried using KDE to associate HTML files with Firefox, but that just
screws up Konqueror when I click on a link within it - It wants to know
if it should save the page or open it in Firefox.
I can't find any settings in either program to tell them how to handle
the content correctly. Any suggestions?

Hi,
First close Firefox and Thunderbird.
Then add the following 3 lines to ~/.thunderbird/xxxxxxxx.default/prefs.js
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "/path/to/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/path/to/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/path/to/firefox");
And the following line to ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/prefs.js
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.mailto", "/path/to/thunderbird");
