I assumed (wrongly) that the default applications was setting the defaults universally. I mainly wanted to initiate Firefox on Thunderbird e-mail links.
I will pursue this fix within Thunderbird. >From my perspective, this bug report can be closed due to a misunderstanding on my part about what consitutes a default application. As a side note, under Ubuntu 6.06, in Thunderbird all of my links went to Firefox when Firefox was identified as the default browser. In Kubuntu 6.10 with Firefox 2.0.0.2, the button to check whether Firefox was the default browser is inoperative (not inactive.. just doesn't do anything). This is probably scope creep from my original bug report.
