Make Firefox launch Kmail

raylhm · 10-26-2006, 03:27 AM

I've googled and looked everywhere and been through kde component file associations and so on and I can't get Firefox to "send a link". I can get Firefox to launch off a link in Kmail however. How do you do it? In the hidden files like T'Bird and FF?

Hey there ... try this:

Quote:

Enter "about:config" (without the ") into the url field of firefox, this will bring up the config data for your browser. Right click on open space and select New -> String. This opens up a name box and entry field where you put;

"network.protocol-handler.app.mailto" (without the ")

Then after you hit enter, it opens up the string box were you will now put;

"kmailservice" (without the ")

Then restart your browser.

This should do the trick and start up Kmail even if it's not running.
