How can I change the browser that Thunderbird sends me to when I click a link in an email?

i used to use CCLeaner browser, but I have changed my default browser to Chrome. However, when I click on a link in an email in Thunderbird, it still sends me to CCleaner browser. I can "copy link address" and paste it into Chrome, but it would be more convenient for me to be able to click on the link and go to Chrome directly. Where in Thunderbird can I change this?

You can't, Thunderbird is just calling the default browser. See https://support.mozilla.org/kb/hyperlinks-in-messages-not-working

Check your Windows settings for default browser.
