Despite this having been disclosed, it seems like we should have a plan to act on this?

(In reply to Ben Bucksch (:BenB) from comment #12)
News article: http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/84683
"Flaw in Thunderbird bypasses Firefox 'Torified' security and privacy defenses"
So instead of opening a link in the default web browser, which might have been carefully configured with privacy/tracking protections, the link is instead opened in Thunderbird, which might not have those browsing protections.
BenB said, it's tricky to catch all scenarios. However, some of those pages are supposed to be opened with the TB internal browser (in a tab).
Maybe we need a shielding, and prior to opening such a link in a tab, inform the user and ask them to confirm?
