Default Thunderbird Misbehaviour f14

Hi All,

I've just taken the plunge with a f14 upgrade. Almost everything seems sensible. One
rather annoying oddity is the behaviour of thunderbird with links in emails. It
detects that they are links (by colouring them and the cursor change on mouse-over)
but when I click, nothing happens. I opened the thunderbird error console and it
seems to be generating some kind of chrome error. Any clues as to what this might
be and how I get to work properly?

Check your preferred applications and make sure that your preferred
browser is properly configured....and that Thunderbird knows about it.

I can't even use the Thunderbird Hehlp system to find out how to do this.
Pressing F1 (or selecting it from the menu) displays in the Error Console:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIExternalProtocolService.loadURI]" nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame ::
chrome://messenger/content/mailCore.js :: openFormattedURL :: line 427" data: no]

Your preferred applications is a Fedora thingy, not a Thunderbird
thingy. Look at System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications (in Gnome).
