I cannot get Thunderbird to open as the default for Firefox when

Yeah I consider this a bug in Firefox. Its something that just should 
work easily. There are a few ways to enable this.
Lookup in Google enable mailto firefox.
Have a look at the first few google links such as:

It's always worked fine for me - Straight out of the box. I use Ubuntu 
though. Ubuntu installs Evolution as the default mail app, but I prefer 
Thunderbird so installed it and set it as my default the usual way and 
it just worked. Works fine both ways - clicking on link in email gives 
me the fox, clicking on email link in the fox gives me the bird :)
