How do I make Seamonkey open say Firefox when I click on a URL ?
I do not like Seamonkey as a browser.
Firefox is my default but Seamonkey ignores that.
James, as SeaMonkey includes a browser, it naturally uses that browser.
However, it used to be possible to do as you wanted, i.e. when you
clicked on a link in an e-mail, the web page would open in another
browser. There used to be a preference in about:config which you would
change and away you would go, but I've looked through about:config and
also at http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries to see if I could
spot the pref ... but no go!!
Sorry!
If I remember correctly from long ago, setting these preferences
network.protocol-handler.external.http
network.protocol-handler.external.https
to true will do it -- but may also have unwelcome side effects.
Use with caution and be prepared to back out.

Hmm!! I don't have those prefs in my prefs.js and they're not listed in
the about:config mozillazine page I ref'd above, however I do have
several network.protocol-handler.external prefs set.
I should have added that you will probably need to add those yourself.
On the about:config page, right-click >> New >> Boolean
Could they possible have been added by one of your added extensions, Ralph??
No, they were not added by one of my extensions.
Well, one would then have to wonder why you added those prefs, yourself,
Ralph. Did someone suggest them as a solution for a problem you were
having??
