I can't even use the Thunderbird Hehlp system to find out how to do this.
Pressing F1 (or selecting it from the menu) displays in the Error Console:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIExternalProtocolService.loadURI]" nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame ::

Your preferred applications is a Fedora thingy, not a Thunderbird
thingy. Look at System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications (in Gnome).
