Firefox will not send page.
 

When I either left click on file or right click on page and then click on 'send page', nothing happens.

I thought maybe I needed to tell firefox which e-mail CLI to use but can not find any place to do that. I looked for a 'rc' file. Nothing. I have a 'mozillarc' but it only set the sound driver.

Preferences doesn't tell me anything unless I'm blind, not halo here, I'm not above reading right past something.

Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks

Firefox should use your default email client. Just tried it for fun and it pulled up Ximian Revolution, which is my default. Perhaps you should check which client you have as default.

Gonna' have to plead stupidity. I don't know how to check for default email CLI.

My control panel is silent on that subject.

When all else fails, RTFM. The firefox help file says the option is not available on linux. It is on XP, OSX, and OS/2.

Anyone know this to be false?

Your default mail client is located under Preferences/Control Center/Preferred Applications/Mail Reader. Mine shows Evolution Mail Reader and that is what pops up when I click on 'send page'. Don't know why Firefox says it's not available on Linux, works just fine on my Fedora Core 2 install. Suggestion: why not install Thunderbird which is the Mozilla/Firefox mail client and enable that as default to see if it recognizes it's own client? T-bird is one of the best out there and has an excellent spam filter. I use it for my 'spam' email addy.

Thanks for the reply. I'll get back to you later. I''ve spent 15 minutes searching for the information you conveyed. No joy.

Thanks, Dave.

I uese Mandrake 10 and "send page" doesn't work here ether. Ideas?

Not really. I checked Mozilla and my version (1.7.2) doesn't even HAVE a 'send page', just 'send page as'. Firefox 0.9.3 continues to 'send page' without a problem. Guess I'm just a lucky guy and the rest of the world will have to copy and paste links. Actually, I always send the page as a link anyway so the receiver can get the message quickly and connect at his leisure.

My OS is Lindows which is a derivitive of debian. The firefox I downloaded from their site was version 0.9. I see your is version 0.9.3 which maybe the difference.

Mine has a 'send page' under file that does not work. The help file states it is not implimented under linux.

On a side note: I have not researched this. Does anyone know of linux distribution that will run on an AMD Duron 1600.00 Mhz K7 CPU. MB is Elitegroup L7VMM3. Mandrake 9.1 will load but does not preform too smoothly.

Dave, I'm not sure if the 0.9.3 will work any better, but it's worth the upgrade since there were some security flaws in 0.9.0 . On the side issue, I'm running XP and Fedora Core 2 flawlessly on an Athalon XP 1600 with a Gigabyte mobo. Also running XP and SuSE 9.0 on my second machine which is an Athalon 1200 and Asus board. No problems with either distro on those machines. I'd suggest that if you want more comments, start a separate post for that question; it kind of gets lost in this link.
