This is what I did to make these two talk: A] To use any mailer with firefox: 1. type "about:config" (without the quotation marks) in the URL field in firefox to open the firefox configuration pag e 2. right click -> new -> string 3. type "network.protocol-handler.app.mailto", and for the value use "/patht/to/thunderbird", B] To have Forefox work from Thunderbird links: 1. Ref: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird/linuxurls.html 2. Additional configuration is necessary to have web url's in Thunderbird link back to Firefox. It requires editing the prefs.js file in your Thunderbird profile (look in ~/.mozilla-thunderbird, and drill down to find this file). 3. After making certain Thunderbird is not running, add the line Codei, to the file and save: user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/firefox"); 4. After restarting Thunderbird, urls in html mail should bring up the link in Firefox.
