Mozilla Thunderbird
 
I recently downloaded Mozilla Thunderbird.

It seems nice so far, however when I click on a link in a received email it doesnt open a browser..


How do I change this so it opens Firefox?

Anyone know!?!?

This should be exactly what you need.

Yes, it appears to be what I need.

All I see is a shell script, but how do I apply it so it works?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

On second look, there is an easier way.

Open ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/(random_string).default/prefs.js

Add the line
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox");
somewhere.

This assumes that firefox is located there.
