Here's a problem I have at home - I updated to 5.8, have t-bird 10 and ff 10; I run icewm. However, I cannot get a link in an email to open in my browser. Anyone else see this?

You should be able to set that in Edit => Preferences => Attachments (in thunderbird)

Any clues from running:
gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http

Nope.
gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http needs_terminal = false command = /usr/local/firefox-2.0.11ref/firefox "%s" enabled = true
What I get from t-bird's error console is
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIExternalProtocolService.loadUrl]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://communicator/content/contentAreaClick.js :: openLinkExternally :: line 188" data: no]

Did that while I was getting ready for work. Interesting point - I *know* it's 10.whatever. On the other hand, that's a gnome tool, correct? I don't run gnome. Period. As I said, I use icewm. I think the only gnomism I use regularly is gwenview, and that anything else is non-desktop, or kde.

Did you try to set it up where I asked in the:
Edit => Preferences => Attachments

No, I didn't, though I did look. I see you can search, but don't see where to add.
On the other hand, I will check, this evening, to make sure in edit-preferences->advanced->config editor, that network.protocol-handler.app.http and the others point to the corrected directory for open-browser.sh

Oh ... it uses a gconf gnome app to set that in preferences. You likely do not have that installed since you are not using a supported WM.
You should be able to set it manually, however, like you plan to do in the advanced editor.
Finally. This is more than annoying. http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/425619-cannot-launch-url-thunderbird-3-04b-firefox.html
Config editor: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp default boolean false network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http default boolean false network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https default boolean false
Change all of those to "true".
Oh, and for those of us that loathe gnome, edit /usr/lib/thunderbird/open-browser.sh to, right after
# No URL specified so set to blank url=$1 if [ -z $url ]; then url=about:blank fi
Add: exec firefox -new-tab "$url" exit
and all is good again.
