Opening Links in Thunderbird

Hi,
I hope someone can help me! I use thunderbird for my emailing and Firefox for my browsing. My problem is that I don't have either of these as default mail/browser, so when I try to open links in my emails they open in IE - which I don't want!
Does anyone know a way to get the links to open in FF, automatically (I use the launchy extension as the moment but that means right clicking every link and selecting to open with firefox - a hassle and I often forget to do it!). Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.
Joe

I posted this question of the mozilla thnderboard forum and a moderator there said there was no solution
( - so I'm not holding out much hope, but I will be very impressed if anyone can come up with anything!

have you tried setting firefox as the default browser?
tools> options> main tab make sure make firefox is the default browser on startup0 -
I can't have it as default browser, as it is not my computer I am using.
