The following web page describes the process of making FireFox launch
Thunderbird, and vice versa, under Linux.  The process is identical for
FreeBSD:

http://www.schwer.us/journal/2005/05/01/getting-firefox-and-thunderbird-to-play-nice-under-linux/

Note that one of the two shell scripts the author uses as wrappers, invokes
/bin/bash.  You must change that to /bin/sh.  The sh on FreeBSD can handle
the code in the file.
