It might be sufficient to let Firebird/mozilla declare itself to be your default browser.I also have the linky and launch thunderbird extensions so one of those may be doing the trick.

To get links working on my Solaris laptop, I logged into JDS/GNOME then set the default applications for web and mail. I also selected the option to 'open in a terminal'. I've not experimented extensively, but that definitely worked for me, even though I use WindowMaker as my window manager.

In fact, here's a better way...

Create a file user.js in your Thunderbird prefs directory. Mine is here :-

/export/home/gjl/.thunderbird/07j4trhv.default/

In that file put the following lines (well something similar anyway, depending on your path)

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https","/usr/local/firefox/firefox");

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http","/usr/local/firefox/firefox");

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp","/usr/local/firefox/firefox");

Then restart Thunderbird.

I didn't try this but maybe it helps... http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/15898.htmlI've got the same problem on Mdk10.2 LE with KDE 3.3, Tb 1.0.2 and FF 1.5

Just ran into this problem on my new Ultra 20.

The best way to make this work is to use the about:config settings. If you are running a version before 1.5, get the extension.

about:config --> network.protocol-handler.app.http

set the string to firefox "%s" (or whatever browser you use)

Do the same for ftp and https

This will open the link in a new tab if you have Firefox configured right.

If you want to make it a global setting,

Add these lines:

pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp","/usr/local/firefox-1.0.6/bin/firefox-wrapper");

pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/local/firefox-1.0.6/bin/firefox-wrapper");

pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/usr/local/firefox-1.0.6/bin/firefox-wrapper");

/usr/local/thunderbird/lib/thunderbird/default/pref/<yourcustompref>.js
