Re: [SOLVED] ff4: Thunderbid doesn't open email links in ff anymore

@sweetthdevil thank you, that worked for me as well. Once you set
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https
to true, TB will ask what to do when clicking on a link. Then point it to /usr/lib/firefox-4.0/firefox ..

Great! Thanks everybody for your help!

Another way for gnome and lxde users:

gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command '/usr/lib/firefox-4.0/firefox "%s"' 
gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command '/usr/lib/firefox-4.0/firefox "%s"' 
gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/chrome/command '/usr/lib/firefox-4.0/firefox "%s"'
gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ftp/command '/usr/lib/firefox-4.0/firefox "%s"'

I had the same problem, I am using gnome. The solution was as simple as going to the gnome preferred applications settings (system->preferences->preferred applications) and changing "Web Browser" to firefox. It was set to a custom command that was pointing to firefox 3.

this is the easiest way in gnome, worked for me.

If you want something more sophisticated to choose the good browser depending of circunstances I wrote this small script : http://pastie.org/2238450

Thanks for the tips, worked for me too
