 (Another "prevent them from shooting their own feet"...)

 Thunderbird asked whether I want it to be my default client for mail,
 news, whatever. No. And the question is quite pointless.

 Assumed people use their non-anonymous stuff and their anonymous stuff on
 the same system, it might happen they (accidentally) click a e-mail link
 with the non-anonymous browser. That should not fire up Thunderbird /
 TorBirdy. If they accidentally hammer the enter key or click on that
 button while Thunderbird just showed the question, they see nothing but a
 short flash and activated it.

 Please disable the question and being the default client for anything by
 TorBirdy-defaults.

 This is NOT a request to forbid explicitly setting to be the default
 client if the user really wishes.
