IceStorm Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 (edited) First off, yes I have looked up previous topics on this issue. However, none have worked for me thus far. Here is the situation. If I get an email with a url in it, it will open in Konqurer. I've set the file association for .html, etc. to firefox. In fact, firefox is the only app listed for these. Yet konqurer still opens. I've even tried the %u in the command line as well. I can't find anything in Thunderbird for a default browser setting. I'm using Mandrake 10.1 OE, Firefox 1.0, and Thunderbird 1.0. Edited February 1, 2005 by IceStorm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 (edited) I had the same problem, what you want to do is from the CLI type the following: gnome-default-applications-properties Then you can select what browser/email prog you want to use for default. Once I'd done this my links in TBird opened in Firefox. You will need to point to the firefox entry to wherever you installed it: Eg for me: /home/ian/apps/firefox/firefox you will have to add %s to the end of the line so that shortcuts will open. You can also do the same for the email prog, so that when you click mailto links it'll work. :P Edited March 17, 2005 by ianw1974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
