Fc8, Firefox 3
When using File > Send Link in Firefox 2 it would open
Thunderbird to send link, but in Firefox3 the feature doesn't work.
In /,mozilla/firefox/default/user.js file, to select thunderbird,
but it won't work in Firefox 3.
Below is contents of user.js
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.mailto","/usr/bin/thunderbird");
user_pref("browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs", true);
What's different in FF3 ??
AFAIK this is a GTK setting, not specific to Firefox (FF uses
GTK). Try
setting TB in the Gnome Preferred Applications dialogue. If you
use KDE,
run gnome-control-center to get to it.

Sorry about that, I'am running KDE and I don't have
gnome-control-center installed, do you know howto do this in KDE ?
Thanks for your responds.
No I don't, but note that FF is a GTK application compiled with GTK
libraries so KDE has no direct way of controlling it. You could
probably
edit the gconf files directly, but I don't recommend it. Just run "yum
install control-center". It won't get in the way of using KDE.

Boy that sure is a weird way of having to set it up, but that did
the trick , Thanks for the help
Even tho I'm not a Gnome user, I think I'll keep that
Gnome-control-center.

On F8 I am using the REMI version of Thunderbird and FF3 with no
issues on KDE.
Yeah I found that out when I installed it on my brother's x86_64
computer last night, everything installed without a hitch.
But for some reason it didn't go that easy on my x86_64 box. But one
thing I did find out , by having to install
Gnome-control-center or rpm "control-center" to setup Thunderbird as
mail client. That the Gnome-control-center
is very helpful in KDE, It closely knitted to Fedora, than KDE's
Control Center is. So I now have a new Icon on my Desktop.
Please don't tell my KDE friends that I found a app. in Gnome that is
better than in KDE.
It has nothing to do with being "better". As I already said, Firefox is
a Gnome application and pays attention to the Gconf database (Gnome's
equivalent of the Windows Registry). KDE uses a completely different
system for storing configuration info. You need the Gnome tools for some
Gnome stuff and the KDE tools for some KDE stuff.
poc
Well !!, Then I got the best of both worlds.
