Follow up:

Fixed it.

I used these directions:
http://www.ghacks.net/2013/01/20/fix-for-thunderbird-not-opening-links/

I set

network.protocol-handler.external-default = true

then started a link. Got the pop up asking me what to
do with it. So, I said use "firefox". No symptom change.

Then I did it again, but this time I chose what application
and hand wrote /usr/bin/firefox into the dialog. Then
said "remember" and this time is worked perfectly.
