Public bug reported:
when I set thunderbird as the mail client in preferred applications, my
"Launch web browser" shortcut key launches firefox with a big random
number (eg 1107040615) instead of continuing to use the specified home
page (in my case google).
I can reproduce this by
a) create a new user
b) select a key combination for "Launch web browser" keyboard shortcut
d) hit the key combo to verify it works (it does, but for a new user it goes to
about:startpage instead of google, which is fine)
e) change preferred applications mail reader to thunderbird
f) hit the key combo for "Launch web browser" again. This time firefox tries
to go to a big random number instead of about:startpage.
