[opensuse] How to force Thunderbird to use Google Chromium as browser?
I have set /usr/bin/chromium as the default browser in Kde (4.4.4) Personal settings, and everything seems to honor that except Thunderbird, which insists on launching Firefox. What do I need to change to force TB to use my default browser.? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks Christian. That worked great. Regarding the sentiment posted on your page: "Too bad thereToo bad there is no Chrome Mail Client to ditch Thunderbird too." I tend to agree, but mostly I lament the fact that Kmail is falling so far behind these days. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

zypper in gnome-control-center and make the changes in the appropriate place. Thunderbird is a gnome app. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I had no idea Thunderbird was a Gnome app. Nothing in the help said anything about Gnome, and no obvious dependencies appear in the package listing. I'm running the opensuse package, 3.0.6.0.1.1-x86_64 from opensuse 11.3 and I would have thought it would have forced the install of Gnome packages if there was any dependencies.

It's not a real Gnome app but a Gtk2 one and it uses some infrastructure of Gnome.

Everything you need is installed. To manage it easily you needed some tools otherwise you would have had to use commandline tools to set it. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
