Comment to Robert Persson:

Assuming that your FF installationuses a new profile, all you have to do
is select

File -> Send Link

You will see a popup window with yahoo as the mail user agent default
choice (for reasons that escape me). You also have the option to choose
another application. Click to choose /usr/bin/thunderbird if that is
your choice.

Also remember to check the box at the bottom of the popup to make this
selection permanent.

You should be set after that.

I think this is not so much a yahoo bug as a perplexing default choice
for the default mail user agent using mailto links from within FF. In
that sense, it is a default option that has been compiled into FF either
by the Mozilla folks, or the Debian folks, or the Ubuntu folks. In any
case, I would have thought that if a web-based mail user agent were
chosen by default, it would be gmail.
