HTML files attached to email messages cannot be opened in Thunderbird 3 on Windows Vista, because Thunderbird thinks they are of the "mailbox" (in local folders) or "imap" (IMAP folers) file type. When firefox.exe is selected as (default) application for opening "mailbox" or "imap" files, Firefox says that it doesn't know the "mailbox" or "imap" protocol.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose a new email message
2. Attach an HTML file
3. Save the message as draft
4. Open the draft and open the attachment (double-click, or right-click and select Open)
Actual Results:
The pop-up window "Launch Application" is opened. When an application is chosen (e.g. Firefox), it says that it can't handle the protocol.
Expected Results:
The pop-up window "Launch Application" is opened. When an application is chosen (e.g. Firefox), it displays the file in the browser.
This problem occurs with messages created in Thunderbird itself as well as with downloaded messages generated by other email clients.
This problem occurs in my existing Thunderbird installation and profile (upgraded from version 2) as wel as in a fresh installation of Thunderbird 3.0 final with a newly created profile.
Windows Vista is configured to open HTML files in Firefox (in Configuration Panel, Default Programs, Set your default programs).

WFM on MacOS
WFM on Windows I did test with IE8 not Firefox.
Can you try in -safe-mode (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode)?
I have this problem as well. It occurs with the digest version of an email list, formatted as HTML. I did not have this problem with Thunderbird 2. Using Windows XP.
