See this link: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Changing_the_web_browser_invoked_by_Thunderbird

It has a way to launch a browser of choice when clicking links. I used this method to invoke my "not system default" browser and it is working fine so far.

You used to do this by setting the path for the browser with the network.protocol-handler.app.http and network.protocol-handler.app.https settings. While that setting is normally associated with Linux, it worked under Windows and OS X too. With recent versions you need to set network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https true and chose the desired browser from a popup window instead.
