I'm using snv_89.  I just downloaded firefox-3.0rc1 from mozilla.org and am 
giving it a test run.

First thing I noticed, clicking on a URL inside thunderbird, x-chat, pidgin, 
(... any other application) FAILS to launch firefox 3.0rc1 with that URL.  This 
was working properly in firefox 2.0.0.14 on the same system.  Reverting back to 
firefox 2.0.0.14 on the same system (no other changes made).

I did make firefox3 set itself as the default browser (did the same with 
2.0.0.14).  I thought maybe this wasn't being done properly, so I checked the 
following with gconf-editor:

/desktop/gnome/applications/browser
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ftp

They are all set correctly to the full path of the firefox3 installation (to 
firefox2 when I'm using that).  Firefox2 works as intended, firefox3 doesn't.

Any ideas about what more I can try or check?
