This one was driving me nuts and I finally found a solution. For several weeks, Thunderbird has not been opening links I click on them. I found a solution here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=502651

  1. Open Thunderbird version 2.0.0.14
  2. Go to the Edit menu
  3. Click on Preferences
  4. Click the Advanced tab
  5. Click the Config Editor button.
  6. An about:config window will open up.
  7. In the Filter box, enter network.protocol-handler.app.http
  8. If the editor is unable to locate it, create a new string and input network.protocol-handler.app.http.
  9. Enter firefox for the string value.
  10. Close out and restart Thunderbird.

Hyperlinks should now be available in your email!
