It works fine on my OpenSolaris 2008.05 here, with a new profile. I check the gnome config key/value pairs for http handler:
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command: $path_for_firefox-3.0rc1/firefox "%s" /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/enabled: yes /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/needs_terminal: no What does "FAIL" mean here? no response from the system? Could you enable the checkbox for the key /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/needs_terminal and have a try again? A gnome-terminal should pop up. Is there any error message after that?
