Both products do not match BLFS instructions.
Yes, they do! :-)
Maybe in some installs these preference names are present
No, they are not present in any install. I believe you rushed through the material too quickly, John, and overlooked the instructions. Here is what it says: "If your Window or Desktop Manager does not allow you to configure a default mail client, you can add a configuration parameter to Firefox so that an email client will start when you click on a mailto: URL." Notice it says you have to *add* a parameter. The instructions later tell you what parameters need to be added and how to add it.
Now Firefox and Thunderbird work correctly for me. Thanks for getting me pointed in the right direction to figure this out.
Glad we could help out and you got it all straightened out. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.28] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 13:20:00 up 3 days, 1:57, 6 users, load average: 0.01, 0.05, 0.01 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
