For example, I entered this text into the Thunderbird instructions today. This stuff doesn't come easy to me, as I worry too much about it being "just right". It took a bit of time. I don't think everyone realizes how much time it actually takes to do this stuff. Anyway, here's the text: No specific configuration is required as long as the thunderbird script is in the user's path. If Thunderbird is installed in a non-standard location, then make a symlink to the thunderbird script in the /usr/bin directory. If you don't have privileges to install extensions globally, or you prefer to not install global extensions, you can configure Thunderbird on an individual user basis for access to extensions. For example, if you built the Enigmail extension and did not install it globally, it can be installed on an as-needed basis for each user of the system who may use Thunderbird. It is accomplished through the Thunderbird “Tools” menu. Choose the “Extensions” – “Install” option and fill in the “Look in:” field with /usr/lib/thunderbird-1.5/xpi_store. You'll then see the enigmail-0.94.0-linux-????.xpi file listed. Choose this file and click on “Open”, then click on “Install now”. The Enigmail extension will install and you will be prompted to restart Thunderbird. If your Window or Desktop Manager does not allow you to configure a default browser, you can add a configuration parameter to Thunderbird so that a browser will start when when you click on an Internet/intranet/local URL. The procedure to check or modify any of the configuration parameters is quite simple and the instructions here can be used to view or modify any of the parameters. First, open the configuration dialog by opening the “Edit” drop-down menu. Choose “Preferences” and then click on the “Advanced” icon on the top menu bar. Choose the “General” tab and click on the “Config Editor” button. This will display a list of the configuration preferences and information related to each one. You can use the “Filter:” bar to enter search criteria and narrow down the listed items. Changing a preference can be done using two methods. One, if the preference has a boolean value (True/False), simply double-click on the preference to toggle the value and two, for other preferences simply right-click on the desired line, choose “Modify” from the menu and change the value. Creating new preference items is accomplished in the same way, except choose “New” from the menu and provide the desired data into the fields when prompted. The configuration preference item you need to check so that Thunderbird uses a specified browser is the network.protocol-handler.app.http which should be set to the path of the desired browser, e.g., /usr/bin/firefox. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 21:50:00 up 121 days, 7:14, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.05, 0.24 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
