Try the following link and a 'man autofs'...

I too use the excellent Thunderbird mail client. Have you tried holding 
down the Ctrl key whilst clicking on the URL? Perhaps Thunderbird is 
preventing the link from opening due to security settings or maybe you 
have some form of pop-up protection running on your computer. Pop-up 
protection could be integrated into your web browser.
