I recently acquired a new computer. I've installed essentially the same
software and setup as my thinkpad, but for some reason thunderbird on
the new pc always opens urls with gnome browser instead of firefox, and
despite repeatedly looking I have been unable to find a setting to
change it.

This is because Thunderbird follows the instructions of the desktop environment it was semi-written-for.

Anyone know where this is?
I use KDE by the way, so it had better not be another one of these
settings that requires me to open a gnome control panel because the last
time I did that it modified all my font settings.

It is. Use KMail if you care about this sort of thing.
gnome-control-center contains an option on Preferred Applications, from where the option is a one-click thing.
