I have just started using Firefox as my somewhat default browser in KDE. Is there a way to make Kmail open a new tab in Firefox instead of a new window when I click a link in an email.
TIA, Darrell
Here's how I accomplish it with Mozilla. I think the odds are good it will work with Firefox, as well. I assume you've dealt with the basic file association so that instead of Konqueror your HTTP URLs are being sent to Firefox. The refinement you need is this (or something like it): Command: /usr/local/bin/mozilla -remote "openURL(%u)" For me, using Mozilla 1.7.3, this opens the URL in whichever tab is currently displayed. I almost always have just one Mozilla window open with lots of tabs. I don't know what will happen if multiple Mozilla windows are open. Probably it will target the one that was most recently active. This page: <http://www.mozilla.org/docs/command-line-args.html> is a little easier to read the the "-help" command-line output. The details of the "-remote" option are given here: <http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html>. Randall Schulz
