At least it wants to use something on your system. Here it just "sits there" taking no action. Fred -- The only bug free software from MickySoft is still shrink-wrapped in their warehouse..."
On the navigation bar, type about:config. Right click on the displayed page and add a new string: network.protocol-handler.app.mailto Set the value to the full path to your mail client. This should work. Francesco Glenn Holmer wrote:

Are you sure? After typing about:config as address, firefox should display a page with all the browser settings that can be edited by a mouse right click. Francesco Fred A. Miller wrote:

I set it to "/opt/kde3/bin/kmail"; works great. Now how do I make "send link" work (empty composer window opens)? -- ====================================================== Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) ====================================================== "Greater coherence cannot be achieved.
