[Joerg Albert <1429275@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Prereq to reproduce this bug:
- firefox must be the default browser in the system (calling ubuntu-bug changed this ...?)
- no instance of firefox is running before I click on the URL in the email in thunderbird

Then an empty firefox window opens and I see with ps

joerg@quad:~$ ps aux | grep firefox

Title:
  Thunderbird does not open http URL anymore with Firefox v36.0

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In Firefox the "-remote" option was removed in version 36.0 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1080319).
  Unfortunately the current Thunderbird in Ubuntu 14.04 still uses this option.

  When I click on an http URL in a email an empty Firefox windows opens
  and ps reports a firefox instance with "-remote "OpenURL(...)".
