I upgraded from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 Release Candidate. Firefox is the default browser and Thunderbird is the default email client. Since the upgrade, when I click on a hyperlink in an email message, the browser does not launch, and if the browser is already open, a new tab does not open and the browser does not go to that page.

This functionality worked with Thunderbird and Firefox with Ubuntu 8.10. No other changes were made to the system.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 (not a fresh install).
2. Launch Thunderbird and open an email containing a hyperlink.
3. Click on the hyperlink and the browser should open but it does not.
Actual Results:
Nothing happens

Expected Results:
Firefox launches and opens to the URL in the hyperlink.

Upgrade (not fresh install) of Ubuntu 9.04 Release Candidate.

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean

were run after installation. No other changes made from prior install.
