The preferential way to do this is to create a user.js file in the same
directory as your prefs.js file and put the entries there. Thunderbird
will parse the user.js file and add the appropriate entries to the
prefs.js file. I have been doing this since about thunderbird 0.6 and
it is working on 4 different machines. You might also want to add lines
for handling secure http and ftp. Here is the contents of my user.js
file. If firefox is in your path thunderbird should find it.
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "firefox");
