I've found most of what you mentioned and have made changes but I still only get my home page in Iceweasel, not the link in the email I clik on. Is that what you get? Can you get to Iceweasel but not to the exact link? Also, you mention in user_prefs, the line in pref.js user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.http", true); Well, I don't have that specific line in my user_prefs. Did you add the line or just change the false to true? I'm at a loss. I've found some info in bugtracking but it's from 2007 and it's talking about not getting to iceweasel. Again, I can get to Iceweasel but not the exact link. TIA for your help. Whit -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
