I followed all instructions I can find, but have not been successful. Using the config editor I added the following, and have checked that it is in the file prefs.js: user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "/usr/local/bin/firefox"); user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/local/bin/firefox"); user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/usr/local/bin/firefox"); user_pref("network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp", true); user_pref("network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http", true); user_pref("network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https", true); This does not work for me and has been so for a while. It started after an upgrade. If anyone has a solution to this problem I would like to read about it. Thank you :-) 2012-01-20 15:02, Da Rock skrev: > I don't know who else has come across this, or who even uses this > particular combination of firefox and thunderbird.
