Bug Description

after installing epiphany links in thunderbird open in it, even though firefox is still chosen as the defualt in system->prefs->prefered applications.

as far as i can tell this is because thunderbird is using x-www-browser to open the link, rather than gnome-open.

changing network.protocol-handler.app.http and network.protocol-handler.app.https in about:config (edit ->prefs -> advanced -> general -> advanced configuration).

another option would be making x-www-browser point to gnome-open.
