Go to Thunderbird Menu: Edit-->Preferences

Click Config Editor

Hit Ok

Search for the following 3 entries:

network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http

network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https

network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp

and double click to true.

That should do it.

2 years ago	biffster	Don't mind the downvotes on this, the answer it provides is still correct. Follow the steps above, and you will be able to get Thunderbird to open links in your default browser (mine is Chrome Beta).
