[e-users] Getting Firefox and Thunderbird to Interoperate

[Michael H. <ma...@co...>]

All

Does anyone know how to get Firefox and Thunderbird to invoke one 
another on links?  I discovered that you can get Thunderbird to invoke 
the browser of your choice on a URL link in a message by creating a 
script called "LaunchBrowser" in the same directory as the Thunderbird 
executable.  This would contain something like:

  #!/bin/sh
  /usr/local/firefox/firefox $1

and needs execute permission for everyone, of course.

There ought to be an easier way to do this, plus I have not found 
anything comparable in Firefox.  In FC3, clicking a "mailto:" link in a 
Web page invokes Evolution.  This must be a Fedora default somewhere but 
I can't find out how it is controlled.

My experience with Mozilla lists and forums is that they are all Windwos 
users.
