There is no such means to alter this parameter as you describe.
That is, there is no under Tools or even any general settings.
Nor is there anything like that in Firefox. I speculate you are thinking of
another browser-email client.

You need to add prefs to the all-thunderbird.js file to invoke firefox
as follows, changing "/opt/firefox" to the firefox installation
directory on your system that contains the executable firefox script:

pref("", "/opt/firefox/firefox");
pref("", "/opt/firefox/firefox");
pref("", "/opt/firefox/firefox");

all-thunderbird.js is in the defaults/pref subdirectory of the
thunderbird installation directory.

Also add the following line to firefox.js file in the defaults/pref
subdirectory of the firefox installation directory:

pref("","/opt/thunderbird/thunderbird");

Change "/opt/thunderbird" to the thunderbird installation directory on
your system containing the executable thunderbird script.

The above works on Sun Solaris and will probably work on any linux system.

You should be adding those to the user.js file in your profile, not that
location (if the file doesn't exist, you can create it).

you can set them in about:config. In Firefox, that can be accessed by
typing "about:config" in the address bar, and in Thunderbird, it can be
accessed with the AboutConfig extension:

(Yes, I /have/ to provide four different locations to get it from.)

It's "Firefox", not "FireFox" or "Foxfire", and the version number is
"1.0.3", not "1.03" or "10.3" or "1.3" or anything else.

, also, Java and JavaScript are not the same thing. :-)
