As the subject tells, I suddenly cannot get an URL in Thunderbird opened in Firefox. Nor in any other browser I have (Konqueror) This should be understood, that nothing happens if I click on the URL.

What could be the culprit ?

Thunderbird uses gconf settings as first instance to determine which application to use for http (or https) links. Usually Firefox is set as default handler in gconf defaults anyway in openSUSE 10.3 AFAICS. So I wonder if you have gconf installed at all? rpm -q gconf2 ?

In case that's missing, Thunderbird doesn't know what to do if not specifically told otherwise (via advanced settings) and doesn't do anything.

But to be more complete: Thunderbird has gconf as dependency so it should be available on your system. If it is, you could check via gconf-editor (if installed, since this is no requirement) what is set as url-handler for http and https. But the following command should show you the value anyway: gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command like: wolfi@Hygiea:~> gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command firefox %s If all that is correct I'm interested in some more information and probably a bugreport in bugzilla.novell.com Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
