Hi.
I run opensuse 11.2.
The mailer is Thunderbird 3.0b4 and Firefox is 3.5.5
I cannot open links when I try in Thunderbird.
How can I solve this ?.
Did it work before or is this a new/virgin installation of any of those components?
Have you a) googled for this problem. That's how I solved it when I first installed T'Bird :=)
b) searched the archives of this group
If you enter "about:config" in the address bar in Firefox you will see settings that pertain to T'Bird as well. OR in T'Bird menu -> edit -> preferences -> advanced -> general -> config editor and look for "network.protocol-handler.app.http"
I have it set to run a s small shell script that runs firefox in such a way as to open a new tab rather than a new window.
Having a shell script there gives you ore flexibility than trying to invoke firefox directly; you have control over library settings, environment and debug settings.
This has another advantage. I set it up this way about six years ago and it has worked unchanged for three different distributions and all upgrades of the OS and Mozilla during that period.
Its also a little easier to edit a shell script :-)
As it's a new install, I nver hav it to work on this install. I have googled, but found nothing for the versions I run. Why do you ask if I have googled ?. I didn't searched the archives.
