It has also happened to me.
I was using Ubuntu Gutsy, then upgraded to Hardy installing from CD and using the same partition as home.

I have resolved it following the thread that Nico Dietrich has given but changing user.js by prefs.js.

To sum up. Add the following lines to ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/*default*/prefs.js

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/usr/bin/firefox");

Can this be fixed?
