[opensuse-kde] Problem with Thunderbird in KDE 4.3
Hi, I've just upgraded to oS_11.2 (KDE 4.3) and have the problem, that I can't switch over to Firefox or any other KDE-related browser when clicking on a link in TB. (No problems in KDE 3.5.) - I installed Epiphany and it works fine. Nevertheless - I want to use FF. Any hint?

should read oS_11.1 and KDE 3.5

Nevertheless - I want to use FF.
Any hint?

Known problem - discussed in opensuse-help last week. Try this as one person suggested: http://twoday.tuwien.ac.at/pub/stories/326158/comment Didn't work for me but it did for the person who gave the above link. YMMV.

Hi, I hit this issue too. I fixed it by editing the prefs.js file for Thunderbird to include the following.... user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/opt/firefox/firefox"); user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/opt/firefox/firefox"); Obviously the /opt/firefox/firefox is where my FF is installed - change to suit your own installation. Also, make sure to edit prefs.js when Thunderbrid is NOT running, or your changes will be overwritten.

This won't work for TB3 anymore. These prefs are ignored now. The gconftool-2 thing should actually help though. If not I'd like to discuss that somewhere (bugzilla or directly).

OK, and thanks - I didn't know TB3 was different. This fix is for TB 2.x. I'm also a little concerned that TB3 will ignore user prefs, and will need gconf, as this is a dependency of Gnome, which seems like a bad decision for a so-called standalone mail tool. Will all user prefs go into gconf, or just some of them? Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

The dependency to Gnome have been there always. The pref support was removed indeed. It was an upstream decision.

User prefs don't "go" into gconf. They are just read from there in this case which can be bad enough. But it's not that new and usually easy to solve once you know. Some of the work which happened for Firefox probably can go upstream and would affect Thunderbird as well then.
