Problem with Thunderbird URL links after 'downgrading' to Firefox2

[alextaylor]

Like it says :-( I updated to Kubuntu8.04 a few days ago, discovered that the browser had been changed to Firefox3beta5 and after a couple of hours' frustration, removed it again and reinstalled Firefox2. For some reason, I can no longer click on URLs in Thunderbird emails and have them open up in the browser; nothing happens at all, in fact.

I've done the 'update-alternatives' thing, and it's correctly set to /usr/bin/firefox-2. Can anyone suggest anything I might have missed, please? :-)
