thank you for your analysis of this problem, I was affected by this problem too while working on the Thunderbird transition. I also tend to your suggested solution on point 4 as the correct way is using x-www-browser instead of some specific browser binary in the mimeTypes.rdf file. I modified the new prepared starting wrapper script for the thunderbird transition in this way. Regards Carsten
