| Question:: When using Thunderbird 3.1.2 i can click on a Link which opens in GNOME Webbrowser. How can i make sure the Link opens into Firefox instead? Answer:: Regardless of the Desktop you use (KDE, GNOME, etc.) you need to change some Settings in the GConf repository with the GNOME configuration tool {{{gconftool-2}}}. The reason is that Mozilla uses GTK+ which in turn is linked to GNOME. <<BR>> 1. Open a Shell as a User. 1. Check the {{{http, https}}} Settings in the GConf Repository. They should either contain the gnome-www-browser (as showed below) or maybe a specific Path to an other Webbrowser (sometimes also a link to some specific firefox version). |

| anscheinend gibt es eine neue Version von thunderbird. Wenn ich einen http Link in einer Email anklicke, dann wird neuerdings nicht mehr firefox geoeffnet, sondern der GNOME Web Browser (?). Ich habe im .thunderbird Verzeichnis unter prefs.js folgendes stehen: |

Problem
When using Thunderbird 3.1.2 i can click on a Link which opens in GNOME Webbrowser. How can i make sure the Link opens into Firefox instead?
Solution
Regardless of the Desktop you use (KDE, GNOME, etc.) you need to change some Settings in the GConf repository with the GNOME configuration tool gconftool-2. The reason is that Mozilla uses GTK+ which in turn is linked to GNOME.
- Open a Shell as a User.
Check the http, https Settings in the GConf Repository. They should either contain the gnome-www-browser (as showed below) or maybe a specific Path to an other Webbrowser (sometimes also a link to some specific firefox version).
gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command gnome-www-browser "%s" gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command gnome-www-browser "%s" gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/enabled true gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/enabled true
- Make sure to replace these settings (even if one contains a specific firefox version) to use the SEPP firefox wrapper.
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command '/usr/sepp/bin/firefox "%s"' --type string gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command '/usr/sepp/bin/firefox "%s"' --type string gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/enabled 'true' --type bool gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/enabled 'true' --type bool
- Recheck the Settings to make sure they have been set to the SEPP firefox wrapper and that these Settings are used.
gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command /usr/sepp/bin/firefox "%s" gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command /usr/sepp/bin/firefox "%s" gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/enabled true gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/enabled true
- Even if the settings should be immediately available it is better to close thunderbird and firefox and then reopen them again.
