 Hello,
 
 I'm running both Thunderbird and Firefox under Kubuntu (Dapper). 
 Thunderbird is assuming Konqueror as the default browser.  Thunderbird 
 doesn't appear have a setting for this (as far as I know; the setting 
 may be buried in T-Bird's about:config panel or may be right in front of 
 me in the preferences).  Under System Settings / KDE Components / Web 
 Browser I have 'In the following browser: /usr/bin/firefox' specified 
 (though this setting is supposed to be specific to KDE apps so should 
 have no effect on this issue).
 
 Anyway, this is a relatively minor GUI annoyance, but if anybody knows 
 what to do, please let me know.

Here are a couple things you could check:

 - Do you have BROWSER set in your environment?
 - What is the output of namei x-www-browser?

If x-www-browser appears to point at conquerer, you'll want to do a:
  sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

Also, a suggestion in
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-thunderbird/+bug/31841
was to perform sudo dpkg-reconfigure mozilla-thunderbird and pick
GNOME

$ namei x-www-browser
f: x-www-browser
 ? x-www-browser - No such file or directory (2)



If x-www-browser appears to point at conquerer, you'll want to do a:
  sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser


Did that.  Choose /usr/bin/firefox

That didn't change the output of namei x-www-browser but it did fix 
the problem.  Now I'm reading some man pages to figure out what the hell 
I just did.


Thanks so much!
Dave
