When you click on a link in Thunderbird it sends a call to the operating system to launch the default browser. See this link to set the default browser -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_Your_Default_Browser

also, how do I make TB to open links in a BACKGROUND new tab in FF?
now it opens in foreground tab and steals focus

That may require the TabMix Plus extension.

Re: How do I specify which browser TB will use to open links
that addon is crap and essentially it does not offer the functionality I need
instead of blurping addons you assume are relevant, I would prefer people who know what they are talking about

Dan is not only a moderator but has more real knowledge than many here. Instead of being a rude little demanding child try growing up you unpleasant excuse for a human
What sort of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.

firefoxuse:
I deleted the report that you made against mailliz, and ignored the insult you made in it. You're asking for help from strangers, on a free product. Please keep that in mind when you don't like the suggestions they make.
Check what browser.tabs.loadInBackground is set to, using about:config. It defaults to true. Or try the add-on that Dan suggested. It appears to also manage that.

My advice is to stop insulting people yourself. Wonder why people won't help you anymore?firefoxuse wrote:that addon is crap and essentially it does not offer the functionality I need

Volunteers. The same unpaid individuals who have been trying to help you and receiving insults in response. You won't need "protection" if you keep a civil attitude and try working with those folks instead of offering abuse.who is responsible for this forum?

Re: How do I specify which browser TB will use to open links
Well, expect all you like.
Unless you start to act in a civil manner, you will NOT receive any more help here.
Plus, I am seriously considering giving you a warning for the insult to Dan.
But, I will leave that open......for the time being.
