Same thing happened to me.  Started a couple months ago during some
upgrades.  I'm running SUSE 10.2, Firefox 3.0.4 and Thunderbird 1.5.0.14.  I
have to right click on URL, copy link, then paste it into a browser window.
I've found the question many times, but never an answer.  Maybe we'll get
one here.
