Hi,
This security errata is now out. I have tested it and it does open firefox
when you click on a URL link.
At the present time, it's still getting pushed out on SL4 area's ... but it
should be there in a couple hours.

And accourding to Comment #41
"It's already in cvs and it's going to be released with the next thunderbird
security update."
But I currently have no idea when that will be. I hope it is soon.

Hi Christopher!

This does not seem to happen anymore.
I guess you are using Firefox 3.0 and Thunderbird 1.5.
The reason for the problem is a version conflict of a library used by Firefox
and Thunderbird. If Thunderbird starts Firefox it uses its own LD_LIBRARY_PATH
settings which result in a wrong library version for Firefox.
Thunderbird uses a script to start Firefox:
/usr/lib/thunderbird-1.5.0.12/open-browser.sh
A solution is to change LD_LIBRARY_PATH at the beginning of this script in
order to have Firefox to look at the correct place for its library:
#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
