In the past I've used this technique, however on this occasion the user 
just blew away his history files

Use the following process to unlock a sqlite db, ensure firefox is 
stopped first:-

DBNAME="db.sqlite" # substiture db for name of file
echo '.dump' | sqlite3 $DBNAME > $DBNAME.dump
cat $DBNAME.dump | sqlite3 DBNAME.2
mv $DBNAME $DBNAME.orig
mv $DBNAME.2 $DBNAME

in addition, if above works, close firefox and thunderbird.

open file browser in 'details' and 'show hidden' mode.

in your home directory, open ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox/. delete the
*.default directories.

next, open ~/.cache/thunderbird/. delete the *.default directories.

  mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-new
  mv ~/.mozilla-old ~/.mozilla

both firefox and thunderbird will recreate their ~/.cache paths.

open thunderbird and w/out firefox as you usually do. locate email
with hot link, click to see what happens.

post back results.

after, i will post an easy way to archive firefox and thunderbird
for easy recovery.
