26 i've checked that those entries are set to my firefox path
27 (/usr/bin/firefox). The thing is , once again, that thunderbird does
28 it's job of launching firefox, but the page that opens is a *downloaded
29 *version such as
30 file:///tmp/blabla.html
31 where i would like it to open the url.
32
33 btw, i've managed to fix the mailto problem, now firefox opens
34 thunderbird just fine. I've did it the "newbie" way by going to the
35 preference->Applications and adding a mailto entry. Though i'm sure that
36 i already try doing that before, anyway...
