[nflug] default browser for thunderbird

[Darin Perusich]

Locate thunderbirds global preferences directory, perhaps something like 
/usr/lib/thunderbird/defaults/pref. Create a file in that directory 
called user.js with the following contents:

user.js:
pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "/path/to/firefox");
pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/path/to/firefox");
pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/path/to/firefox");
