Go into Konqueror, find an html file, right click, edit file type, set firebird to the highest priority. Not sure about getting it to work from Thunderbird - I had issues with that, but I believe the newest versions are ok with it.
I have a slightly different issue regarding Thunderbird and hyperlinks. I'm using Gnome 2.4, Firefox 0.8 and thunderbird 0.5. When I click on a hyperlink from thunderbird it opens up Epiphany. I've checked all the manuals, but can't find out where to change this to Firefox. Do I change this setting from within Thunderbird, or Gnome ? Thanks for the help.
Save a web page to your hard drive, go into nautilus and double click it. What opens? If it's Epiphany, then that's almost certainly a system setting. I would imagine you can edit the file type from within Nautilus. If not then it's probably a thunderbird issue. Try all of the options menus, and if that doesn't bring any joy then have a poke around ~/.thunderbird.
Thanks guygriffiths !! That did the trick. (I can't believe I missed it when I was poking around) Anyway, the setting is under Start here ---> Desktop preferences ---> Advanced ---> File Types and Programs. Then scroll down to World Wide Web, click on it and change emphithy %s to firefox %s. Thanks again for the VERY fast response.
P.S. Oh and if Firefox is already opened, It will simply open up another tab. Awsome !
