This should work good for Firefox.
Thanks, Randy.

Using DJ's /usr/bin/{thunderbird,firefox}, I can open URL's from Thunderbird into a new tab in firefox. However, I haven't succeeded in getting 'mailto' to work yet. This is my user.js for Firefox:

// Stop reusing active windows:
//user_pref("advanced.system.suportDDEExec ", false);

/* Do not remove the @namespace line--it's required for correct
* functioning */
/* Set default namespace to XUL */
@namespace
url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul";);

/* Mailto: links in Firefox, launch Thunderbird */
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.mailto",
"/usr/bin/thunderbird");

I don't know where the DDEExec stuff came from. I ran 'touch user.js' and it was there when I opened the file in VIM. I've commented it out just because I don't know what it is. The rest I copied and pasted from a reply on the firefox forum.

Here's the related stuff from my firefox set up from 'about:config':

network.protocol-handler.expose-all is set to true
network.protocol-handler.expose.mailto is set to false
network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to true

(these are just informational and, of course, do not reflect the proper formatting neither in prefs.js nor in about:config)

Does my setup look right? I've looked at DJ's thunderbird script and can't find anything obvious. (I didn't use my "Bash Reference Guide" to study the script, however. I need it to translate all the tests. Don't have 'em locked in the grey matter yet. :) )

Thanks,

Dan
