Changing default HTML launcher for Mozilla Thunderbird?

Spasmolytic · 03-07-2004, 03:29 PM

Hello, I was wondering how to edit the default link handler for Thunderbird, when I click links I get this:

Code:

Application "epiphany-bin" (process 14371) has crashed
due to a fatal error.
(Segmentation fault)

This means T-Bird is using gnome's browser to launch links and I dont want that to happen! Any ideas? I can't seem to find any sort of options pertaining to link handling and Firefox is the default handler for KDE

FIXED - I uninstalled epiphany, then I clicked a link and it couldn't find the file so it asked me which one i wanted to use

I need some help about this. I'm using thunderbird and firefox. I tried using mozilla-laucher to open links from thunderbird but it didn't work. I then used firefox binary directly and now when I click a link in an email, firefox starts displaying the link. But if firefox is already started, he tries to open it again and the "profile conflict" window opens.

Does anyone know a way around this?

I found something about this some time ago but I can't find it again

. It also had tips about opening links from thunderbird in different tabs

FIXED!

Just removed the file type handler in tool->options->attachments and added

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/firefox");

to prefs.js as I read inhttp://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=159086&highlight=thunderbird+links+firefox

Thanks Saradas.
