Oh, yes.  I had it backwards.


So the pref (user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mailto",

correct pref so that a link clicked in SM Mail will open an external

It's network.protocol-handler.external.http and SeaMonkey stopped
supporting that pref around the time of SeaMonkey 2.0.


Thanks, Chris  I thought it had worked much more recently, but what

In your profile, find the file user.js.  If it does not exist, create it
as a plain-text file.  Insert the following:

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mailto", true);
// to use external E-mail,
// also had to set Windows to use Thunderbird as defaul E-mail client

The semi-colon (;) at the end of the first line is required.  The second
and third lines are merely comments to document why you have done this.

The preference variable network.protocol-handler.external.mailto can
also be set by requesting about:config.  However, you cannot insert
commenbts.

You must also tell Windows that you want Thunderbird as your default
E-mail application.  You appear to be using Windows XP.  From your Start
button, go to [Settings > Control Panel].  On the Control Panel, I
recall there is an icon for Internet.  Somewhere in that item is where
you indicate your default application.

Joyce, as others have said, because the (SeaMonkey) Browser and the 
(SeaMonkey) Mail are the one program, SeaMonkey, normally when you click 
on a link, SM's browser will open and display the web page. However, 
what you want (links clicked on in SeaMonkey Mail opens in a FireFox 
screen) is possible by changing a preference in SeaMonkey's about:config 
screen, it's just that I cannot recall which one it is.


Maybe someone will recall it.

Remember, though, Joyce, if you and your husband both use the same SM 
profile, changing this pref will effect both of you, so you should each 
have different SM profiles.

I keep a "bare metal" profile that generally has no user preferences

You don't have to have separate profiles for that. You can specify in
the Data Manager that your bank's website is authorized to set cookies
and launch popups, while keeping your default prohibitions for sites
that are not explicitly listed. Just don't save those passwords on your
computer! ;-)

And depending on your routine and your tastes, you can file bookmarks in
different folders if you like. Or not...


Another thing that you can do

If you go into about:config, and set browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to 
true, that causes your bookmarks to be exported bookmarks.html, each 
time you close down Seamonkey.


In all my other browser installations and profiles, I set this to be the 
home page, and as a result, no matter what browser or profile I'm 
working in, I always have access to all my bookmarks, current as of 
whenever I last last closed down my primary Seamonkey profile.

Go to Firefox preferences, where there should be a button for making
Firefox your
default browser. I don't have it installed on this computer so I
can't tell you the
precise location.

Then, start Seamonkey Mail, go to

Edit->Preferences->Mail & Newsgroups

and on the right side you'll see buttons for making Seamonkey your
default for mail
and news(groups).


The problem here is that clicking links in mail, RSS, etc. will open
SeaMonkey windows rather than Firefox windows. Unless the user is
willing to drag links onto Firefox all the time, there's precious
little reason to suggest using SeaMonkey for mail and Firefox for web.
When using Firefox, Thunderbird makes a better mail, news and RSS
choice. IMO, YMMV and all that.


Did you say that Seamonkey mail refuse to start the default browser when
we click on a link a SeaMonkey mail ?
If the answer is yes .. so this is ANOTHER SeaMonkey BUG !!!


It is just that SeaMonkey can do the job itself, so that is what it 
does.  Instead of calling the operating system to open the default 
browser (or mail reader), it does the task itself.  I do not think it 
is a bug, I think that is deliberate.


So, it's a deliberate bug who act against the user who want to use his 
prefered browser, because he put it a the "default"one  If the user 
prefer the Seamonkey browser he put this browser as the default one.
But in the case of the OP . The OP WANT to open FireFox instead of 
SeaMonkey when he click on a link in a SeaMonkey mail !!!

I too use SeaMonkey as a Web browser and Thunderbird for E-mail, RSS
feeds, and newsgroups.  I actively use three different SeaMonkey
profiles, sometimes switching back and forth several times an hour.
When I do that, I do not want to lose my current E-mail or newsgroup

Works fine for me.  I am using SeaMonkey for the web because there is an
intermittent crashing bug in Firefox that crashed the program without a
dump (hangs).  I thought I had this fixed, but it still happens.

Thunderbird has no problem opening SeaMonkey as the default browser. 
Thunderbird, by definition, expects to call on the OS for its choice of 
browser. In SeaMonkey's case, it always uses its own browser when 
opening links from its own e-mail client, regardless of the operating 
system's defined default browser.

Hi,
My husband and I just switched from outlook Express to SeaMonkey for our email

I  have the Firefox browser as my default and want to keep it that way, 
especially
for any links that I click on in my emails.

Is there any way I can have Firefox and not SeaMonkey come up when I click on

in my emails?  I'd appreciate any help you can give here.

Go to Firefox preferences, where there should be a button for making Firefox 
your
default browser. I don't have it installed on this computer so I can't tell you 
the
precise location.

Then, start Seamonkey Mail, go to

Edit->Preferences->Mail & Newsgroups

and on the right side you'll see buttons for making Seamonkey your default for 
mail
and news(groups).

The problem here is that clicking links in mail, RSS, etc. will open 
SeaMonkey windows rather than Firefox windows. Unless the user is 
willing to drag links onto Firefox all the time, there's precious little 
reason to suggest using SeaMonkey for mail and Firefox for web. When 
using Firefox, Thunderbird makes a better mail, news and RSS choice. 
IMO, YMMV and all that.

If you prefer Firefox, remove SeaMonkey and install Thunderbird.  Much
of SeaMonkey's mail-new capabilities are cloned from Thunderbird.  (That
is technically incorrect, but it conveys the user experience.)
