Thunderbird opening chromium but need to use switches

I have no problem opening chromium with links in Thunderbird. However, I would like to open the chromium browser with switches (which specify a ram disk for cache and size- performance tweaks), which don't seem to work (nothing happens whenever I add a -switch). I tried to make a pointer file called "chrome" in /usr/bin/ containing the switches, which works everywhere except with Thunderbird. Is there a way to get Thunderbird to open Chromium while using switches?

I don't think there are any global settings for things like this in chromium, that would also solve this problem...

Thanks for any help,

Re: Thunderbird opening chromium but need to use switches

Does it work if you change the value of these to include the flags?
Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Config Editor

network.protocol-handler.app.ftp
network.protocol-handler.app.http
network.protocol-handler.app.https

Re: Thunderbird opening chromium but need to use switches

I actually removed those awhile ago because they don't seem to work anymore... Anyway, deleting my attachment settings for f/http/s and doing a restart. Nothing but a dialog asking what I would like to open them with- so, it reverts to treating them as attachments again.
