Since you and Rusty seem to be knowledgeable about browsers, perhaps you
can solve my problem. In thunderbird, clicking on a URL no longer
results in being brought into Firefox to that site. Now I am stuck with
tedious cut and paste

The link is a Windows registry rather than a program-specific thing
-- "all links open in X", rather than "Thunderbird points to browser
X".

Have you inadvertently "unmade" Firefox as your default browser? (Or
Windows might have done it all on its own; it sometimes likes to
screw around with your head like that, just for fun...)

Try unregistering Firefox and then re-designating it as your default.
(Open Internet Explorer and make that your default; then open FF;
have it check if it's the default again -- Tools>Options>General;
close it; and try a link from Thunderbird.)

If that doesn't work, I know of a freebie utility that forces the
default to be made which might be worth a last-ditch try.
