I did as you did and then created shortcuts on the desktop. This works if you are the only user.
Okay, I did the "quick and dirty" solution and all is working well, except for default behavior. When I click on a link in an email I get the Epiphany browser.
Is there any way (while I have these programs in my personal home directory) to specify Firefox as default browser when clicking on a link in an email? It doesn't show up in the Gnome Config choices.
And same for Thunderbird, I would like to specify it as default mail client when clicking on an email address in Firefox. I haven't actually tried doing that yet to see what happens but I suspect it will be some other system-wide client that comes up.
Would Stephen Kuhn's method be the solution to this? As he said:
--------------------
What I've done in that particular circumstance is to create a /usr/local/firefox and /usr/local/thunderbird - and then to create a link to both in the /usr/bin directory . . .
--------------------
Otherwise, I guess the easiest solution is to do the urpmi install and then the choices will automatically be available.
Thanks,
Matt
