Did you change the hypertext Application from Firefox to Chrome?

        "hypertext Application"

        Where do I find that?

        "Preferred Applications" shows Chrome as the default. I probably

Something's seriously broken and changing the default apps just doesn't
work consistently. This applies throughout the Gnome3 shell.  You need
to edit ~/.thunderbird/yourprofile/ and edit mimeTypes.rdf:

Find and edit the stanzas referencing firefox. The should be for http,
https, and ftp.


As I noted in the other thread on this topic, this did not resolve my problem.  Matter of fact, my laptop running F15 using the very same rdf file fails to open any browser from Thunderbird
