Jim---
   As far as *I've* been able to determine, the answer is "NO" (at 
least on Windows 7).
SeaMonkey does not appear to care what you have set as your default 
browser (I've tried FF, Chrome, and IE), and will only open its own 
idiosyncratic browser.


I've resigned myself to this sub-optimal behavior.

Hello,

Is it possible to configure SeaMonkey mail to launch Firefox instead 
of the SeaMonkey browser for links in e-mail messages?

I've looked at Thunderbird many times but I have yet to figure out how to
address a message when that message is to go to multiple addresses.  SM is
great for this - can easily insert a dozen addresses pulled from a number of
address books.

I didn't see anything in that thread suggesting that TB 3.x is

TB 3.x removed the "rebuild found broken indexes upon search encountering a broken index". Thus there is no way with TB 3.x code to per-account check for corrupted index files. And with 1500+ mail 
folders, I am NOT manually rebuilding all indexes!!!


Message filters may be stuffing mail into a folder with corrupted index. The 
folder will not light up as the index is corrupted. No visual indication where 
the new message ended up.

Current SM retains the TB 2.0.x logic that will rebuild the index on-the-fly 
when a Search operation finds a corrupted one. I think of it as ChkDsk /f for 
Mozilla Mail.

I didn't read the entire bug thread, but the complaints seemed to be
regarding a lack of a specific tool to check/rebuild all the .msf index
files. Seamonkey uses basically the same engine, and also lacks this
tool. I didn't see anything in that thread suggesting that TB 3.x is
significantly worse than 2.x -- but again, AFAIK SM uses the same engine
as recent (9.x?) TB builds. The main differences between TB and SM Mail
seem to be the new user interface in TB.

I'm sorry, but I didn't find anything there suggesting that TB had
become significantly less reliable than SM Mail, or that .msf corruption
risks were significantly lower in SM. I just don't get it.

Sorry, I don't know how to make Firefox the default browser for
SeaMonkey Mail.


Launchy is a great start. Still does not alter the default browser menu items 
which point to SM, but I see that as a training issue.

There has been considerable damage done to the Thunderbird product, such that 
migrations from Thunderbird back to SeaMonkey are highly preferable.

Thus the outcome I see as the configuration of choice at the present time is 
Firefox + SeaMonkey.

I would have thought that if such a person were happy with
Thunderbird, he or she would not be wanting to use Seamonkey
as a stand-alone mailnews client in the first place.

Jim, I read your post last night but did not reply as I was not sure of 
the details, and there is no need to use any extension.


As I recall, what you need to do is to set one of the preferences to 
start FF instead of the SeaMonkey browser, unfortunately I don't known

Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable than I will drop by and supply

Yes it is. I switched from Thunderbird 2.0.x to SeaMonkey a few years
ago, yet wanted to retain Firefox as my primary browser.

That is obtained via a SeaMonkey extension named Launchy.

http://gemal.dk/mozilla/launchy.html

So it will not be the link "browse" or what not, it will be on its own
Launchy menu instead. Works great!

Thanks Michael,

I installed Launchy in SeaMonkey, but unfortunately, links in SeaMonkey
mail still open the SeaMonkey browser instead of Firefox, which is my
default browser. I am not sure I understand what you mean by a Launchy
menu; is this a toolbar? Where would I find the Launchy menu? Also the
options window for the Launchy extension under "Launchy knows about the
following applications," Mozilla Firefox is listed but not enabled; it
is inactive and provides no means of enabling it. By the way, I
installed Launchy in Firefox as well, and the behavior of the options
window is the same. Please advise.

Jim Van Abbema




Jim,
As long as you have Launchy installed, you'll see the menu item when you 
right click a link in any email. I have it installed and it is working 
just fine since I don't want to default all clicks to open another 
browser other than SM, just some.


However, you will have to create a launchy.xml file and place it in your 
profile directory, and have it there prior to opening SM.


Here is a link to automatically create the file you need.

 http://gemal.dk/mozilla/launchy-xmlfile.html

And if you are only wanting to add Firefox to the menu since, like you 
mentioned, it is not enabled, copy the attached file to


C:\Documents and Settings\
YOUR USER NAME\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\chrome

It's the file I created to add Firefox to the Launchy menu.

I hope it helps.
