Just a few months ago, after doing a lot of googling and testing, I set up gnome (with gconf-editor and 'Edit > Preferences...') to open links in email (using Thunderbird) in a new tab in the current firefox window. For some reason, this no longer works. Doing all the googling again gives me all the same advice that I read before. Some of this worked previously, but no longer does. Using (the default) "firefox %s" in gconf opens a new firefox window, but I can't figure out how to get gnome (?) to open links in a new firefox tab. Anybody else have the same problem and/or, better, figure out the way it works. PS. I can open a specified URL in a firefox new tab from bash and from emacs, but not from thunderbird. Being that FF and Tbird are both Mozilla products, I'd think this would be the easiest to accomplish. But weirdly, no. tia for any help. -- "This world ain't big enough for the both of us," said the big noema to the little noema.
