Using DJ's /usr/bin/{thunderbird,firefox}, I can open URL's from
Thunderbird into a new tab in firefox. However, I haven't succeeded
in getting 'mailto' to work yet.
What I finally did was add a new user_pref to prefs.js using 'about:config'.
What's interesting is that the line I had in my user.js file was:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.mailto", "/usr/bin/thunderbird");
and it's exactly the same in prefs.js after I did the about:config thing.
To test it, I reset the preference in about:config, removed my user.js,
recreated it and typed in the user_pref just as it appears above. Then
I started firefox and tried a mailto link--no joy. So, I once again
created a preference using about:config and mailto worked.
I don't know why this happened since the lines in both files looked the
same. UNLESS the text wrap in vim got me. It wrapped just like it
looks above. I tried using / at the end of the line, but it didn't
work. There's no wrap when I "cat" prefs.js, but there is with user.js.
Anyway, it works. Thanks to Dan Nicholson and Randy McMurchy for
suggestions and help. Thanks to DJ Lucas for the /usr/bin/thunderbird
script.
