Debian 'sarge', 2.4.26 kernel, Gnome-desktop 2.8
e-mail client: Thunderbird version 1.0 (20050116)
web browser: Preferred=Mozilla Firefox Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686;
en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050110 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0+dfsg.1-2)
I _have_ set my "Preferences->Advanced->Preferred Applications" for
web-browser to "firefox."
However, everytime I click an http link in Thunderbird, Mozilla (the
total platform) launches. I would uninstall it -- I have before;
however, there are a few dependencies I'm loathe to break.
OBTW, those dependencies could probably be changed to some virtual
package like "gekko-browser" provided be either Mozilla or Firefox.
However, my immediate question is: how do I convince Gnome to launch
firefox when I ask for an 'http' link?
