If you are running FC1 or FC2, install firefox or thunderbird from 
Extras stable.  Those show you exactly how it would work in FC3.  Nice 
looking icons for firefox and thunderbird are dropped into the Internet 
menu.  And you can use the Preferred Applications dialog to choose 
firefox and thunderbird as your chosen apps.  The Preferred Application 
thing works very well on FC2 and FC3, but FC1 has problems.  Legacy may 
want to consider doing simple changes to control-center and gnome-vfs2 
to bring FC1's Preferred Applications capability to par with FC2 and 
FC3.  That would be their call.
