The first step is to check if the proper configuration entry is present. In Thunderbird, from the menu bar, choose Edit, Preferences, Advanced, Config Editor. In the filter bar, type network.protocol-handler Check the entries under Preference Name for network.protocol-handler.app.http If it is there right click on it and choose modify Now enter the path to the file which launches the browser you want to use. For a mozilla related program it is probably under /usr/X11R6/bin/ For example, the Mozilla Firefox launcher is found at /usr/X11R6/bin/firefox (sorry, I'm running firefox right now so I can not say with absolute certainty where the mozilla-suite binary is located) If you did not find an entry named network.protocol-handler.app.http then right click on any entry under Preference Name. Choose New, String. When you are prompted for the new string type network.protocol-handler.app.http When you are prompted for the new value enter the path of the mozilla web browser launcher. Follow the same procedures as above to enable support for https. Everywhere you typed http above type https instead. I hope this helps. --Duane Whitty
