Actually, the problem turned out to be with how the mozilla scripts work. Essentially instead of launching a binary directly, /usr/bin/firefox sets a few variables and then calls a launcher script which can launch any of the mozilla products. I'm not exactly sure why they do it this way, but that is how it works. The problem is that once you've launched one product (such as thunderbird), the variables set in the launch scripts are still in the environment, and it can tend to cause confusion when the script is called again to launch another firefox from within thunderbird. So, getting thunderbird to use firefox is easy (well, if you call installing the about:config extension and then manually changing the config settings easy). The hard part was getting the launcher to actually launch firefox after running /usr/bin/firefox. Hey, I didn't design it... :) (I'm sure there is some deep logic to the design which is escaping me...) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFC5YmAg2bN8aFizRkRAnodAJ97wNW6ztmdZW7NOPC4hquuPZeliwCeKsOd HQTdsZn4VX0jmLJRQBfdwZs= =ZC7F -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
