OT?: Thunderbird/Firefox - http links changed to file: links??
Recently Ive had a problem with thunderbird and firefox wherein an http::// link gets changed to a file:/// link somewhere between clicking the link in thunderbird and the link opening in Firefox. I've prowled through the advanced config controls of both apps and see no obvious transformations. I've disabled all extensions in Firefox (especially NoScript) but the problem persists. I've even uninstalled and re-installed Firefox to see if that helps. The next step would be to remove my personal .mozilla tree, but this would mean loosing all my settings and I've worked a lot customizing my preferences that I'd rather not lose. I've done some superficial google searches for the problem, as well as the Mozilla bugzilla with no relevant returns, bu I admit my google-fu may be inadequate. So, has anyone seen anything like this? Were you able to cure it? Thanks for any help offered. Fedora relevance: it happens on my F10 installation, not F9 nor the EvilEmpire installations. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I'd suspect a thunderbird extension rather than a firefox one. I've also tried disabling and re-enabling those extensions too. About to try re-installing thunderbird. - What does the URL show in the bottom status bar when you hover your mouse over the link ? an http://... link as expected - What shows up if you right click on the link, copy the link location and paste it into firefox ? that also works as expected, so it's somewhere in the automagic processing stuff.

On my system the value is: /usr/lib64/thunderbird-2.0.0.19/open-browser.sh It's probably a good idea to debug what that script does to your URL. Easy enough to read the script and see that it calls the gnome-open applet. An examination of the strings(1) content of gnome-open doesn't reveal anything that could be doing it. Also, checking the Preferred Applications settings in Gnome don't show anything unexpected. (Examined both via the gui and gconf-editor.) -- G.
