Thunderbird Goodness

[Andy Choens]

So, I'm thinking about changing from Evolution to Thunderbird.  It seems 
to be able to do everything I need.  I just have one niggle, and I 
thought I would see if anyone could help me here.

As I understand it, when I go to Preference > Preferred Applications, 
and I set my browser as /opt/fire fox/fire fox I am actually setting my 
preference for the script htmlview.  I can call multiple windows of fire 
fox without error.  But, if thunderbird opens a URL, and I already have 
firefox running, I am asked to select a user profile.  I think this is 
rather odd.  Anyone know a way around this?

I am running the latest stable releases of both fire fox and 
thunderbird.  I have them installed in /opt, I am not using RPM for this 
because the repositories aren't keeping up well with the release schedule.
