Hi,
I have not been able to reproduce this.  I start with a thunderbird 1.5, and a 
firefox 1.5.  I am able to click on links in thunderbird and they open in 
firefox without any problem.  I then update the firefox to 3.0.1, and 
everything still works.
I'm also curious.  How do you show thunderbirds "about:config"
You can always just go in and change the configurations by hand in the text 
file, but I can't find the about:config in thunderbird nowdays.
