How do I make Seamonkey open say Firefox when I click on a URL ?
I do not like Seamonkey as a browser.
Firefox is my default but Seamonkey ignores that.
James, as SeaMonkey includes a browser, it naturally uses that browser.
However, it used to be possible to do as you wanted, i.e. when you
clicked on a link in an e-mail, the web page would open in another
browser. There used to be a preference in about:config which you would
change and away you would go, but I've looked through about:config and
also at http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries to see if I could
spot the pref ... but no go!!
Sorry!
If I remember correctly from long ago, setting these preferences
network.protocol-handler.external.http
network.protocol-handler.external.https
to true will do it -- but may also have unwelcome side effects.
Use with caution and be prepared to back out.

Hmm!! I don't have those prefs in my prefs.js and they're not listed in
the about:config mozillazine page I ref'd above, however I do have
several network.protocol-handler.external prefs set.
Could they possible have been added by one of your added extensions, Ralph??
