Well, that's odd.  Your strace file shows no occurrence of "mimeapps" or "firefox". 

That would seem to suggest there is some sort of T-Bird setting getting in the way. 
Or, potentially, an extension.....but I don't see any indication of an extension
being called.

I just noticed that in my running T-Bird which I had already opened links from it
doesn't re-read the ~/.config/mimeapps.list file.  (My previous test was in a VM
where T-bird was just started and no link had been clicked on)

So, could you post yours?
