Scott Thornley Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 (edited) Been wanting to do this, then read the release notes for Thunderbird .5 First, read: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunderbir.../linuxurls.html Dropped the script into /usr/local/bin as it is in the PATH and I thought that maybe, just maybe, one day there'd be more than one user using this system. Also: Alternatively, you can explicitly tell Mozilla Thunderbird which shell script should be run for particular urls by setting the following user preferences to Thunderbird (don't forget to change the path and name to point to your shell script): user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/path/to/the_shell_script"); Repeat for each protocol you want Thunderbird to dispatch (https, ftp, etc.). this should go in a newly created file called user.js in /home/users login/.thunderbird/default/jibbersh.slt/ I did a search, and didn't find anything regarding this in tips and tricks, so I hope it is not a duplicate.

Regards, Scott Did you try changing the file associations in Configuration-KDE-Components- and select your desired browser for the particular extension? It smartly groups extensions so both htm and html etc is in the same group. What happens if you do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Thornley Posted April 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Actually, yes, I did. With no effect. And KDE configuration certainly won't help when I run XFCE for grins. Regards, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
