Thanks! That was the needed pointer. The script at
/usr/lib/thunderbird-xxxx calls gconftool-2 to get a key
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command which pointed to
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox as the executable.
Unfortunately my downgrade to version 2 replaced the /usr/lib/firefox
folder with /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.17 and the reference failed.
Creation of a symlink solved the problem.

Please let me know if anything I say offends you.
I may wish to offend you again in the future.
