To define google-chrome as default Web browser in Thunderbird, there is two steps to follow.
Step 1 (may be enough):
- open advanced configuration editor (Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Configuration Editor)
- define following properties with /usr/bin/google-chrome
network.protocol-handler.app.http
network.protocol-handler.app.https
Step 2:
Usually there is embedded configuration in mimeTypes.rdf file of your Thunderbird profile. In this case, step 1 is not enough.

To define default Web browser:
- open advanced configuration editor (Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Configuration Editor)
- define following properties with true
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https
- open a http link -> the first time there will be a popup, define /usr/bin/google-chrome as your default Web browser, and activate the check box for memorizing this configuration
- open a https link -> and do the same
You will see that mimeTypes.rdf file will have been edited.
This time, google-chrome will really be the default Web browser in Thunderbird.
