How do you set Firefox to use Thunderbird as default mail ? If I put Bookmarks from another computer that Firefox used, how can i get them to come up in Suse Firefox? If I put Bookmarks in /home/user and try to do a import from Firefox , Firefox won't import them. Jim

You should register Thunderbird as default url-handler for mailto links. This can be done within gconf-editor or by using the menu in Thunderbird prefs.

Just copy the bookmarks.html into your existing profile. CU, Wolfgang -- SUSE LINUX GmbH -o) Tel: +49-(0)911-740 53 0 Maxfeldstr. 5 /\\ Fax: +49-(0)911-740 53 679 90409 Nuernberg, Germany _\_v simply change to www.suse.com

I can't find anything like that neither in Thunderbird nor in Firefox prefs. Can you please explain it in detail? Regards, David

I'm not sure anymore if it works in 1.0.x correctly. So just use gconf-editor to set it. desktop -> gnome -> url-handlers -> mailto put in /usr/bin/thunderbird %s CU, Wolfgang -- SUSE LINUX GmbH -o) Tel: +49-(0)911-740 53 0 Maxfeldstr. 5 /\\ Fax: +49-(0)911-740 53 679 90409 Nuernberg, Germany _\_v simply change to www.suse.com

Thanks, that works fine. The old value was /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird %s or something like that. Where did that come from? The directory doesn't even exist, it's called MozillaThunderbird...!?

I have attached a file that goes into .mozilla/firefoxdefault there is another file there called pref.js that is where you drag user.js and then Firefox will use Thunderbird as default email. Jim
