Apologies for asking this question.
Not too long ago someone had a problem of Firefox not being executed when s/he clicked on an URL mentioned in a msg in Thunderbird. The answer on how to resolve this problem was provided. After checking all places I could think of, I cannot find what the solution to this hassle is.
Could someone please either give me the answer or provide the link where the answer is provided.
(I've had TB and FF running now for years but they have been my own installations, ie directly from Mozilla and installed in my home directory. Last night I decided to use the Firefox as installed by openSUSE 11.0 -- and the wheels fell off :'( : I cannot 'call up' FF from TB.)
Ciao.
Basil,
I can't find the post either, but I think it is:
Edit->Preferences->Config:Editor
Add/Edit
network.protocol-handler.app.ftp user set string /usr/bin/firefox network.protocol-handler.app.http user set string /usr/bin/firefox network.protocol-handler.app.https user set string >/usr/bin/firefox

I'd tried that, before, in 10.3, and never got it to work. Sorta gave up. But, tried this, in a just-updated 11.0 - Personal Settings -> KDE components -> Component Chooser, and changed the Web Browser selection to 'firefox' (mine said mozillafirefox)
Bingo!!
I am assuming that you are talking about a KDE4 installation because I cannot find the reference to Personal Settings in KDE3. I'll keep your response in mind when I install KDE4 :-) . Thanks.
