Fedora Extras has published today firefox and thunderbird packages for 
FC1 and FC2.  These packages have been heavily patched and polished to 
integrate nicely into the Preferred Applications framework of FC2.  This 
means that you can go into the Preferences -> Preferred Applications 
chooser, select Firefox & Thunderbird, and the GNOME desktop should 
fully honor your choice of browser and mail client when clicking 
hyperlinks in various programs of FC2.

Please follow the directions on this page if you do not already use 
Fedora Extras.  Report problems of firefox & thunderbird to 
bugzilla.fedora.us.

FC1 users can also use firefox & thunderbird from the Fedora Extras 
stable repository, but unfortunately the Preferred Applications 
framework in FC1 is a bit broken.  As a workaround you can run this 
script as your non-root user to set your profile to use these two 
applications.
