With a fresh installation and fresh home directory, it starts firefox. Did you install openSUSE 11.1 with a clean home directory? If not, did you configure your web browser?: Pidgin main window -> Tools -> Preferences -> Network -> Configure Browser -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It should load a browser without any configuring. Also, I use KDE, not gnome. After manually setting the browser to firefox, it does open links correctly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In non-GNOME, pidgin presents a different dialog to configure browser. The non-GNOME dialog defaults to mozilla on first run (and this value is saved in user preferences). Correct fix: Set default browser to xdg-open (easy to do) Tweaking existing used configuration is a worse problem - it must check, whether selected browser exists. If not, reset to default and try again. I am not implementing this part: Users that already run pidgin have to reset to xdg-open (or browser they want) manually. Note: The browser was set to mozilla even in pidgin correctly started firefox in GNOME. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Not going to implement the config-validate patch, as it would add another additional complication to several hundreds of code lines already handling browser open. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
