Thunderbird not talking to Firefox

I recently installed Thunderbird email client v1.0.2 on my VectorLinux
v5.0 box, which has Firefox v1.0 already installed. Everything went
smoothly and all works, except highlighted web links in Thunderbird do not
boot up my default browser (firefox), nor any browser for that matter.
Env variable $BROWSER is set to "firefox". I have browsed through the
.thunderbird home directory and its config files and cannot see anything
obvious.

Any ideas on what to do appreciated.
