Thanks! First hit I found didn't work any more, but this method worked:
Navigate to "Edit --> Preferences --> Advanced" in the Thunderbird menus and click on the "Config Editor" button. Search for the following three entries: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp Set the value of each of these three entries to true (you can do this by double-clicking on each entry, then close the "about:config" window and click "OK" on the "Thunderbird Preferences" window). When prompted to select a browser next time you click on a link, enter /usr/bin/x-www-browser and click "Remember this choice" -Toby On 19 May 2014 15:18, Brett Pemberton <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, May 19, 2014 at 2:58 PM, Toby Corkindale <[email protected]> wrote: >> Is there some extra place (probably hidden in Thunderbird) that would >> have a setting to select an alternative browser to use, rather than >> the user or system choices? > > Yes. > It's hidden away in 'advanced settings'. > I used to have this set up and working, but it has since reverted. > > I'm now just dragging and dropping links into existing chrome tabs to > get around it. > > Absolutely horrid UI behaviour by thunderbird. > > Some google-fu will find it for you. > > cheers, > > / Brett -- Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer Things fall apart; the center cannot hold Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
