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:
