How do you demote one, when both claim to be default?

Open Systemsettings and set your default browser there???? That's what I
did and it worked for me.

Thanks. FireFox was already set as default; however, clicking on links
in e-mail still opens Chrome.

Close thunderbird and go into ~/.thunderbird/yourprofiledirectory

edit mimeTypes.rdf and find the stanzas that refer to the browser. Look
for http and https Here are mine for chrome:

<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:scheme:externalApplication:http"
NC:prettyName="google-chrome"
NC:path="/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome" />
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:scheme:externalApplication:https"
NC:prettyName="google-chrome"
NC:path="/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome" />


replace the chrome stuff with the the appropriate links for Firefox.

path -> "/usr/bin/firefox"
prettyName -> "Firefox"
