Doesn't work for me -- repeatedly. 'Paste' is not even available in Mozilla in this case (grayed out). Have no idea here if the problem is KMail or Mozilla, or something else. Double clicking on the URL launches Konqueror of course, and I'd love to change that to Mozilla if anyone will share the trick. Konqueror promptly launched a pop up ad from that MSNBC site, something I don't have to see in Windows since I have them all blocked. (Also, Konqueror seems much less 'finished' than Mozilla, and seems to have real trouble with some pages that Mozilla handles easily). I understand Mozilla has a built in popup blocker, so I want to use it for that and other reasons. Copy/Paste --- Copy /paste using the 'Edit' menu does not necessarily work between applications that use different toolkits ie kmail and mozilla. But the method of copy/paste that works everywhere in Linux is 'highlight' with mouse/ click mouse wheel. Once you get used to it Windows will seem clumsy by comparison.

PoP ups In Mozilla/Firebird/Opera there are options to suppress pop ups or open them in background. Not sure about Konqueror. In any case I get rid of pop ups by using 'privoxy' (It is in the 'contrib' folder on any Mandrake mirror) With privoxy installed point your browsers to port 8118 Privoxy will block pop ups and adverts configurable per site.

If the latter, maybe there is an equivalent in KDE to the one in Gnome. My e-mail client (Evolution) defaults to Mozilla, but you can vary this by editing /home/user-name/.gnome/Gnome and changing the line containing default-show= . to default-show=your-preferred-browser-name %s. 'dillo' is very lightweight. I've found it particularly useful for quick checking of e-mail URLs without all the overhead of the heavy duty browsers on a dial-up line.

I understand Mozilla has a built in popup blocker, so I want to use it for that and other reasons. In Konqueror Settings, or you can access from the Configuration menu by clicking the button on the bottom left of the taskbar (panel) under the heading of ConfigurationKDEWeb BrowsingJava and JavaScript. The JavaScript function on web popups policy can be set to Smart and you'll get the popups you request by clicking a link, but automatic popups will usually be disallowed by the browser. Or you can use the Deny setting to block all, which is the default in Mozilla You must then specify sites allowed to display through popups. If you work from the desktop menu the configuration options are under the JavaScript tab. I haven't even looked while the browser was open lately but the display should be similar once you open the Settings and find the correct section.
