[SOLVED]Thunderbird email links

Hi all,
I cannot open a link in an email I get in Thunderbird.
At least not by simply clicking on it which would open Firefox and the site.
This started probably after an upgrade of world.
I have found a workaround by rightclicking on it which stores the link in klipper.
Klipper then shows a window where I can choose what browser to use.
Also when I click on Help in Thunderbird and then on "Mozilla-Thunderbird Help"
nothing happens.Here the rightclicking won't work.
I searched the Mozilla site but haven't been able to find anything.
Anybody out there knows what to do?
Thanks in advance.
Gerard.

Hi reify,
Many thanks.
Forgot all about the Gentoo Wiki.
It now works as it should.
Gerard.
