279065 - Help and hyperlinks (http) have no effect

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 216252

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Adam]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041207 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041207 Firefox/1.0

When I click http links in a message body (such as the ones in the Thunderbird
introductory message), nothing happens.  When I select help from the menu, or
click any of help buttons in dialogs, nothing happens (I suspect that they're
supposed to open a web page).  I have Mozilla Firefox installed so I'd expect it
to open it in that.  I have KDE set up to open Firefox when an http hyperlink is
clicked from other programs, it opens Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on your Inbox in the folders pane
2.Click on one of the hyperlinks in the introductory message that appears

Actual Results:  
Nothing noticable.

Expected Results:  
Opened a web browser (even the proper web browser) which would proceed to
download the appropriate webpage.
