If so, TB might be passing off the request to the desktop environment instead of using the value you specified. I'm running Fvwm, so I don't have experience in getting this behavior to work in a "better" windowing environment. I remember I found the solution that worked for me through googling. I believe there were Gnome/KDE instructions provided as well. Try http://www.google.com/search?q=thunderbird+open+URL
Thanks a lot Michael! This one did the trick finally: http://www.linspireguide.com/Thunderbird-Open-URLs-in-FireFoxBut I had to change the script openlink.sh so it would open the URL in a new tab:
#!/bin/sh export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="/usr/local/moz1.7.12" url="$1" if [ ! "$url" ]; then url="about :blank" fi if $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/mozilla-xremote-client openURL\("$url",new-tab\); then exit 0 fi $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/mozilla "$url" exit 0 To sum up, what I did: 1. Install the about:config extension.2. Modify network.protocol-handler.app.ftp, network.protocol-handler.app.http, and network.protocol-handler.app.https to point to a script in my ~/.mozilla-thunderbird called openlink.sh
