Probably years ago. I've just deleted them, and it *still* tries to open a
new instance of firefox. I tried putting in /usr/bin/xdg-open, and
restarting t-bird, and, since I've got it set to ask, it asks me which
profile to use, rather than opening a tab in the running instance.

Any ideas?

I'm also annoyed with t-bird in C 6. Got that at home, and suddenly,
unless I say "html", at least half the time (that is, half the facepalm
messages show a link in plain text, and half don't....)
