Hi all,
Since i upgraded Firefox to Firefox-3.5-r1, my links from Thunderbird to
Firefox don't work anymore.
In Thunderbird-2.0.0.22 : Edition -> Preferences -> Advanced ->
General
-> Configuration Editor, i get :
network.protocol-handler.app.http type chain with /usr/bin/firefox.
Nothing happens when clicking on a link in Thunderbird.
In console /usr/bin/firefox works properly.
In Openoffice, links launch Firefox.
Everything is ok if i change /usr/bin/firefox to /usr/bin/midori.
It may depend on what desktop you use. I use gnome, and the usual
reason for this problem is that the setting in System->Preferences->
Preferred-Applications is set to point at the wrong browser name.
I believe kde has a similar menu item somewhere, not certain.
Possibly the name of your firefox binary was changed in the upgrade?
Maybe an old symlink is pointing to an old (deleted) file?
I forgot where I found it but here is mine;
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http",
"/home/david/firefox_launch");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https",
"/home/david/firefox_launch");
cat firefox_launch
#!/bin/bash
unset LD_PRELOAD
exec /usr/bin/firefox "$@"
