installing calendar in firefox
anyone able to install the "calendar" component into firefox on ppc? I get an error "performinstall() failed. Error code: -239". This is on the current unstable mozilla-firefox package (0.9.3-5, I think). Anyone else had better luck? thanks, matt http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/download.html#download_firefox -- .''`.

OT: Howto set Mozilla Firefox mailto links
As I just mentioned in another message, I just installed the latest Mozilla-Thunderbird package from testing. [Why is there an update-alternatives option to set the mailto links in Mozilla Firefox? I've used Debian for a few years now but the Mozilla-Thunderbird package is the first time I've interacted with the update-alternatives system, so please forgive me if this is old news.] Here is the technique I just used to make mailto links point from Firefox to Thunderbird. This is for Firefox 1.0 (don't know about any others): 1) Launch Firefox and view the configuration strings using the URL about:config 2) using the field at the top, search for mailto 3) If you do NOT have network.protocol-handler.app.mailto (normally you don't), create it using these steps: a) right-click b) choose New --> String c) new string: network.protocol-handler.app.mailto d) new value: /usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird 4) If you already see an entry for network.protocol-handler.app.mailto, verify the path to the mail client. Double click the string to set it if necessary. Also be sure network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to true. P.S. The Evolution package can set Firefox mailto links to launch Evolution, but I could never find the setting to change it! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This has been one of those quirky little things I've been unable to resolve using 2 or 3 gui tools, no luck. I applied your config fix and pow! a link on a Firefox page pops me up a T-bird compose window.
