</I>Somewhere along the line between 3.x and 10.x, Mozilla changed how
Thunderbird does this stuff. Try this:
Go to Edit/Preferences/Attachments and see if http and https are on the
list. If they are, change the Action to what you want. But they probably
aren't there in your case, so don't panic:
Change from Attachments to Advanced, General tab, Config Editor. Search
for network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http. Both http and https
should come up. Change both to true. Close the Preferences, then click
on an http link. A popup should show up, asking what to do. Tell it, and
be sure to tell it to remember it. This will add it to the Attachments
list, so you can change it later if you want. Repeat for an https link.
That should do it.
