Hi,

I am using firefox and thunderbird.
When I click on a link in my mail, I want to open the webpage in Firefox.

I've tried to setup the file association in tools/options/attachements
but if I choose mozilla-launcher or firefox, nothing happens.
If I choose konqueror, the file is downloaded and opened, but as a file.
(that means that no internal link is working)

The mozilla website was not very helpfull for my problem.

Thanks

I have /usr/bin/firefox %u set as application for HTML in the file
associations dialog.

I put the following in ~/.thunderbird/default/xxxxxxxx.slt/user.js

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "firefox");

These settings, and a lot more, can also be found by typing about:config
in the URL-bar

user.js is added by the user if needed. Just create it.

You may shoot me for confusing thunderbird with firefox, again (I do
that more than is good for me

)
