Nor in any other browser I have (Konqueror)
This should be understood, that nothing happens if I click on the URL.

What could be the culprit ?

Hello again...
I still cannot open url's in thunderbird, and from there Firefox.
Nor other browsers opens. I have to copy/paste.

Thunderbird is version 2.0.0.9

Firefox is version 2.0.0.11

The problem has not always been there

What could be wrong ?


Is this a SUSE package? Has your installation by chance moved to a different location? I have seen a similar thing happen before. The following is worth trying:

1) type in about:config in the URL box.
2) search for browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser
3) If set to false, which is my guess, double-click the setting which should set it to true.
4) Restart firefox and when prompted select yes for setting as default browser.

Hope this helps,
