[opensuse-kde] Clicking on links in Kmail
When I click on a link in an e-mail or mailing list message, such as http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html My default browser (Firefox) starts up and loads a cached copy of the page, rather than the online page itself. So the example given above, results in me looking at file:///home/bob/.kde4/cache-barrowhillfarm/krun/6996.0.smart-questions.html I can't remember when this started happening. I don't remember consciously changing any setting. Is there some way to get it back to loading the actual link address into the browser address bar?

Perhaps your Firefox is in "Work Offline" mode? Look in the File menu, near the bottom.

Good idea, but, no. When I click on a link in the cached page, it loads the external link as expected so Firefox is online. It's almost as though Kmail is sending the wrong thing to Firefox Bob -- Registered Linux User #463880 FSFE Member #1300 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 11.1, Kernel 2.6.27.7-9-default, KDE 4.2.0 Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz, 4GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 9200GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Upon closure examination, it seems that your mail client (you're not specific about which one that is, but I gather it's KMail, since you're posting to the KDE list) is the one specifying the cached copy. I use KMail 1.9.10 under KDE 3.5.10 and when I mouse over a "linkified" URL in a message, I see the URL in the lower-left-hand corner of the main window. When you do that, what URL do you see? Do you see the original URL as it appears in the message or do you see the file: URL for the cached copy? Have you looked for any KMail options that might relate to this? Or any KDE-wide options that might?

One would hope all such options are accessible in the GUI, but I wouldn't really assume that. Also, you might look for cache clearing / reset commands.

I installed it using the 1-click button on the openSUSE website, and have kept all the packages up to date with the Factory repo.

Part of the KDE PIM suite (Kontact). I'll try it as a standalone and see if the behaviour changes.

You don't mention which version of Firefox nor which version of oS you are running; nevertheless, Firefox stores all webpages you access, and anything you download from the 'net like Youtube videos, in ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/Cache and when you request a webpage it brings up the one stored in Cache *if that page has not been updated by the URL the page came from*; if it has been updated then it will get the new page from the URL. In your case, what appears to be happening is that the page you have requested has not changed from the one you asked for at an earlier time. However, things can go wrong and one of the recognised fixes for suspect problems like the one you mention is to *delete* the directory 'Cache' (or its contents) - it will recreate itself automatically when you start Firefox. (*NOTE*: Knowing what Cache contains may be important to some people because it is very easy to view the individual files in Cache by simply clicking on each using, say, konqueror and, now, dolphin. Also, what you view, either in the cache or elsewhere, is copied into ~/.thumbnails; so if you don't want other people to see what you have been looking at then bear this in mind. The Cache archives its contents at the end of the day (or at some point, unknown to me) and the archive can be 'unarchived' to see what it contains (there is an app. which will do this). On the other hand, ~/.thumbnails just keeps retaining what you have looked at - and if your wife/girlfriend catches on and looks in here then your life could just become slightly "messy" :-) .)

No. My problem is not with revisiting pages that Firefox has stored in its cache. My problem occurs when I click on a link in an external program, such as KMail 1.11, which then opens Firefox (or whichever browser is set as my default) and loads a cached (in ~/.kde4/cache/..) vesion of the link I clicked on. IOW, my browser is showing me a local file, not a remote site on the web.
However, things can go wrong and one of the recognised fixes for suspect problems like the one you mention is to *delete* the directory 'Cache' (or its contents) - it will recreate itself automatically when you start Firefox.

I renamed the ~/.kde4/cache-barrowhillfarm folder, and it created a similar one in the form of a symlink pointing to /var/tmp/kde-<username> as you describe. But the unwanted behaviour is unchanged. When I click on a link, a dialog opens bottom right of the screen, which shows the progress of the copy process, prior to the browser opening. So I'm sure it's a KMail or KDE4 feature. I'd just like to find where to switch it off.
As I mentioned earlier, Firefox caches its info in /.mozilla/firefox/*.default/Cache/; on this basis I suspect that some setting in kmail is creating the cache in .kde4 and 'forcing' FF to use it.
I agree.

A very quick response as I am about to go out for the day. I suspect that this is where your problem may lie: the home URL setting. Why don't you start FF on its own then put in your ISP's URL as your home page; exit FF and then restart it- it should start with your ISP's [if you are in a hurry then you can use mine: www.iinet.net.au ] webpage on the screen. Leave FF running and then go into kmail and try clicking on some link and see if your problem still exists (oh, delete that cache thingie in /.kde4). If not then exit FF and do your normal thing with kmail to see what happens when kmail tries to start FF to get to the link you want.

I would have done it in the KDE Control Centre/Personal Settings Configure Desktop, and I would have picked Firefox from the the list of browsers available (no definite memory of these actions as it was some time ago, and I've recently had a general anaesthetic, but I usually use GUI configuration programs/menus when they're provided).

mozillafirefox is what the wizard enters on the entry form, when I select Firefox from the browse menu. And it doesn't add the %u which Will suggested.
...but putting firefox %u did the trick! Many thanks.

can't find the application mozillafirefox
The name of application is firefox not mozillafirefox.
Former is the package name; MozillaFirefox actually.

Contex menu of the Firefox icon on a desktop: Properties > Application tab. firefox -P default %u '-P default' is default profile, a Firefox related option; not mandatory. %u is KDE option to tell that application will accept single URL %U is the same for a list of URLs You can always test basic command from command line, like this: user@linux:~> mozillafirefox bash: mozillafirefox: command not found while: user@linux:~> firefox will start Firefox. There is more to setup, so I attached screenshot of icon (desktop link) properties. -- Regards, Rajko
