Clicking an html link from within a Thunderbird message now opens

Funny thing is, the settings in about:config in Thunderbird still
dictate firefox as the preferred browser:

network.protocol-handler.app.ftp;/usr/bin/firefox
network.protocol-handler.app.http;/usr/bin/firefox
network.protocol-handler.app.https;/usr/bin/firefox

Checking "System settings\Default Applications\web Browser" (in KDE)
also shows Firefox configured as default browser

Where else can this behavior be controlled. I would like to know which
package update caused this behavior to change so I can file a bug
report, but I'm not sure. Looking at the long list of updates last
night, there were updates for both Firefox and Thunderbird, but not for
Chrome. I can't imagine Thunderbird changing the defaut browser to open
from links, and the settings still seem correct.

Ideas?

One of the hacked-to-pieces bundled libraries that Chrome requires being called by Thunderbird or the desktop manager by mistake?

As in, path precedence, or something...?

You asked for ideas. No clue how far off this one is, as I can't stand Chrome (or the new Firefox release concept, for that matter).
