Firefox3 > Send Link > won't use Thunderbird
 

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.

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.
