Firefox and Thunderbird together
After the release of Firefox 1.0 I have heard a lot of people enjoying that Thunderbird and Firefox can work together so well. If you click on an url in Thunderbird then Firefox opens it and the same with mailto-protocol in Firefox (before it said to me that the protocol was unknown).
I am using Firefox 1.0 and Thunderbird 0.9, none of this is working. And no errors are returned to me. All that happens is: nothing. I click a link in thunderbird... nothing happens. The same when I click a mailto-link in Firefox, nothing. Don't I deserve the same symbios between these two? |
Make sure it's firefox 1.0 release, not 1.0PR.

Sorry, just checking. This might depend on your desktop environment.

Yeah, you may be right. I have fluxbox and maby those "better" guys who deserve the symbios are using KDE or something in which they can "communicate" with each other. :P
Well, I guess I will just have to live with having to copy the url instead of just clicking. :P |
There must be a way to make it work, just have to figure it out. :) But I do think fluxbox vs kde may play a role, though I am not sure how to fix it yet. Maybe someone more experienced with fluxbox could help.

I'm using Firefox-0.9.3 and Thunderbird 0.8 and it works
to click on a link in the bird and open the fox, but I had to hack it. You can also hack the fox to open mail in the bird, but I didn't care to do that. My computer is in China, and I'm now in the States, so I can't tell you how I did it - but if you search LQ for threads in which I posted (I didn't start the thread), you can find the answer. There is a link in that thread to another forum where someone posted the hack. It didn't work for me at first, but it does now - so I'd suggest you read the entire thread so you can see at the end what was done. And btw - it works in Fluxbox - flush KDE down the toilet - reminds me of Micro$loth! Edit: This thread - > http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=182049 |
