See  the Debian Thunderbird FAQ

Thunderbird does not properly handle http & https links. What to do?

Three solutions are described.

Earlier you wrote:
I use Thunderbird, so clicking on mailto: links should open
Thunderbird(for different applications). Right now nothing happens.

See /usr/share/doc/mozilla-thunderbird/README.Debian.gz
Firefox/Thunderbird integration:

Gnome users can use the default application configuration
tool included in gnome-control-center. Set the default
Mail-Reader Command to: mozilla-thunderbird -compose %s

It continues with more options, but this works for me. I use gnome-control-center to manage settings, but I don't use gnome! I use openbox for a window manager and fspanel for a panel which makes for a very lightweight desktop and fast performance on this old P3 128mb box.
