    | I created the script mentioned "openlink.sh"
    |
    | Then I added the line to prefs.js:
    |
    |
    ser_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http","/opt/MozillaThunderbird/openlink.sh");

    |
    |
    | set to my own path of course.
    |
    Thanks.. ButI was hoping for a one liner that would work without the
    script. Under the last version I had added one line to prefs.js that
    made it work.... But when I upgraded i lost and can't seem to find the
    message from where I got it..
