PoZZyX Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hello, I'm working with Mandrake 10.1 official, KDE 3.2.3, firefox 1.0 and thunderbird 1.0. When there is a link in my mail on Thunderbird, I click and the webpage is opened in Konqueror. How to open this link by default with firefox ? (I have the same problem with evolution). Thanks and scuse me for my english :S PoZZyX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 go to KDE control center (kicker menu->system->configuration->configure your desktop), components->file associations. type html in the search box. select the file extension in the left panel. look at the associated programs for it in the lower right panel. if firefox is in the list, move it to the top, "apply". if it isn't in the list, click "add", browse to the binary (should be /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox) to add it, then click "apply".

PoZZyX Posted December 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I've already do that but that's good only with the html files and not with the links in mails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 try looking in the preferences/settings in Thunderbird for an "open with" type setting for links/html. i don't use Thunderbird, but most e-mail apps have something like that.
