Not exactly a serious problem, but it kind of irks me!Have you tried by setting in Icedove "about:config" the variables... - "network.protocol-handler.app.http" pointing to the Chromium binary path? - "network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http" to "true"?Thanks, Camaleón. You are a mine of useful information. :-) Just what I wanted to know, mutatis mutandis. I don't mind what Iceweasel thinks is the default browser, but I want clicking on a link in an email in Icedove to open a window in Konqueror and not in Iceweasel. I have had a look on his computer, and Iceweasel has indeed got about:config as it should, and as I would expect. But I can't find any such thing in Icedove. Where should I be looking? LisiIndeed, somehow I missed Camaleón's response. I'm glad you (Lisi) responded to Camaleón. Most grateful to both of you. I changed the http and https settings in icedove (Config Editor button on the General tab of the Preferences dialog), and clicking a link in an e-mail is finally calling up chromium-browser.And my husband's computer now uses Konqueror when a link in an email is clicked. Thanks to both of you. I have been meaning to do something about this via google for some time. Lisi
I had tried searching on this off and on for a few days, but I never found anything pertinent. I also looked through the Thunderbird documentation posted online and didn't find what I needed. I was working with a sleep deficit, so I may have slipped up while doing my homework.
I considered posting at the Mozilla forums, but I knew that this list is frequented by people who could cover the issue from all angles. And then, surely enough, Camaleón came to the rescue!
