T-Bird won't open URL

[john wendel]

I'm getting the following error when I click on a URL in Tbird.

This is the 3.1.10 Tbird from F14 using Aurora browser (yeah I know, 
it's broken and I get to keep the pieces).

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure 
code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) 
[nsIExternalProtocolService.loadUrl]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: 
chrome://communicator/content/contentAreaClick.js :: openLinkExternally 
:: line 188"  data: no]

Anyone have any words of wisdom?

Thanks,

John
