    200       <para>If your Window or Desktop Manager does not allow you to configure
    201       a default browser, you can add a configuration parameter to
    202       <application>Thunderbird</application> so that a browser will start when
    203       when you click on an Internet/intranet/local URL. The procedure to check
    204       or modify any of the configuration parameters is quite simple and the
    205       instructions here can be used to view or modify any of the
    206       parameters.</para>
