Name: Thunderbird
Version: 7.0
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:7.0) Gecko/20110916 Thunderbird/7.0
Application Build ID: 20110916152645

I've tried both launching thunderbird with --no-remote and without it.
Both give me the same error as Comment#0.

I have to quit TB to click on a mailto link. I usually just copy/paste
:(

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  This thunderbird error is given when clicking a mailto link. Instead
  of using the thunderbird that's already open it tries to open a new
  instance. Preferred Applications has Thunderbird select, but I have
  also tried Custom command "thunderbird %s". This has been tested on
  10.04 and 10.10. Both result in this error if thunderbird is already
  running.
