URL's in a e-mail msg will not startup firefox...???

[kyle.smith]

I would assume that it will attempt to use the GNOME configured default
application for web browsing.  Check the setting sunder System >
Preferences > Preferred Applications.

My next step in troubleshooting would be to launch Thunderbird from a
terminal emulator and watch the output when I click on a URL in an
E-Mail.  Might give you a clue as to why it's failing.

HTH,
Kyle

*Here is my problem, when someone sends a URL in a e-mail msg, when I
click on it, it will not bring up firefox...

I am using Thunderbird as my mail client, now can anyone tell me what I
need to do for it to work...???

Thanks for any help on this...
