PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format
Mozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. It supports upgrades from Thunderbird Portable 1.5 & 2.0 by installing right over an existing copy, preserving all your email and settings. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.
New In This Release

- Email Signature Portability - Your email signatures are now portable between PCs.
- Digitally Signed Files - PortableApps.com's launcher and installer are now digitally signed (just like Thunderbird itself) so you can be sure you're getting the official release.

the best
links in emails no longer work in Thunderbird
version 1.5.0.13
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I think the first suggestion
I think the first suggestion would be "upgrade to the latest version". Is 1.5 even supported now?
As for links: It could be that you (or someone) has messed up the association in the operating system between those mail links and what application is supposed to open. (I could be wrong, maybe it is something in Thunderbird.)
You could use "Set program access and defaults" (in XP, don't know what it is called in Vista) to make sure IE or something useful is set to handle those links.
Dropped
All support for the 1.5 branch of Thunderbird was dropped back in October of this year. You must upgrade for any bug and security fixes.
