 	In your thunderbird prefs.js set

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "/usr/pkg/bin/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/pkg/bin/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/usr/pkg/bin/firefox");

 	I have nfi why this is not exposed in the UI...
