Then you have got a bugged TB3, there is a lot of weird 
configuration problems due to this (locales, time formats 
and such got messed). I had figured out that it was mostly 
associated with KDE4, TB reads Gnome system config much better.

First make sure you have a default web-browser.

Since you're using a KDE-app under GNOME, you may want to 
install a package called 'kde-systemsettings' (or something 
similar, it used to be 'kcontrol'). Then you can (with a 
GUI) set the default browser, default email program, 
localisation and other stuff for your KDE-apps. After 
configuration you can remove this package. And of course 
this is just a GUI for settings you should be able to do on 
a command line.

You can fix the click-bug by editing 'about.config' in TB3 
or the prefs.js file. See;
<http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/topics/firefox_does_not_launch_when_a_http_link_is_clicked_in_thunderbird>
  "The keys to set to true are 
'network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http' and 
'network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https'"

Some have resolved many of these bugs by upgrading their KDE 
to the latest stable - I suspect there will be a bugfix for 
TB3 very soon.

Hope this helps (even if its a bit OT)...
