That was the needed pointer. The script at /usr/lib/thunderbird- calls gconftool-2 to get a key /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command which pointed to /usr/lib/firefox/firefox as the executable. Unfortunately my downgrade to version 2 replaced the /usr/lib/firefox folder with /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.17 and the reference failed. Creation of a symlink solved the problem.

Firefox not opening from Thunderbird links: error launching default action command
Firefox 3 was hanging on certain websites. I downgraded to Fedora 2.0.17 . Now when I click on a link in a Thunderbird email I get a box with the error message: Error showing url: There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location. Can anyone tell me how/where to fix the 'default action command'?
