[sclug] [Fwd: [Fwd: Thunderbird problem]]

[Neil Haughton]

The problem seems to have fixed itself now that I have removed Epiphany 
from my machine, but I'd still like to know how to configure Thunderbird 
to use a specific browser (ditto Mozilla Mail, come to that, if this is 
possible), if anyone knows....

I see it now - Epiphany apparently isn't meant/expected to work outside 
Gnome, so launching it from KDE will no doubt lead to tears. The 
question now boils down to "how to I configure Thunderbird to use my 
usual browser when I click on an embedded link?" I can't find anything 
obvious in the config files.

I'm having a spot of bother with Thunderbird. If I click on a link 
embedded in an email, after a pause I get an error message:

Application "epiphany-bin" (process 4283) has crashed
due to a fatal error.
(Segmentation fault)

Check the GNOME home page for information..


This is odd because I am using KDE, although GNOME is installed.  Can 
anyone advise what I need to do to get it working correctly? Iam using 
Mandrake 10, BTW.

Mozilla Mail works fine with the same email links and launches Mozilla 
quite happily.
