Thunderbird Link Issue [ dbus ] ?
Whenever I click a Link in Thunderbird Instead of the system opening the link in my default browser I get the following message :

A couple of the posts mention dbus-launch which is part of the dbus-1-utils package, when I attempt to install dbus-1-utils it wants to uninstall dbus-1 and install dbus in it's place.. is that correct ? Code:
debian:~# apt-cache policy dbus-1 Quote:

Whern I try clicking the Links again still no joy, I get the same error message What else can I do to get this fixed ? Thanks for your assistance.. debian sid 2.6.16-1-686 |
Ok well the latest apt-get update && apt-get upgrade seems to have resolved the dbus issue.. now I'm just left with:
gnome is ignoring my prefered browser selection. under preferences I have firefox selected, and gnome ignores my preference setting and launches Gnome web browser 2.14 instead.. |
have a look at update-alternatives (man page)
There, you should point x-www-browser to firefox. Also, there's a gnome settings utility called 'preferred applications'. These should fix your problem if you use the firefox version from the repository. If you downloaded and installed manually, locate your firefox binary with "which firefox" and manually browse from the above two settings applications. |
Thanks prefered applications had absolutely no effect, it's already set to firefox.
I thought update-alternatves would be gnome-wwww-browser but for some reason that only sees epiphany.. update-alternatves worked when I changed x-www-browser to firefox as you suggested. . |
