= Two Ways of opening links in Thunderbird with Firefox =<br />
There's an easy way to get Thunderbird sort of working with Firefox right out of the box with Arch.<br />
<br />
==The preferred method (does not need require restarting Thunderbird)==<br />
Launch Thunderbird and navigate to the ''Config Editor'' by clicking the following menu items:<br />
<br />
''Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Config Editor''.<br />
<br />
Right click in the list of parameters, select ''New'' and ''String'' in the menu.<br />
<br />
A box appears, asking you for the preference name. Put :<br />
<pre><br />
network.protocol-handler.app.http<br />
</pre><br />
Click OK, the box then asks you for the value : set it to :<br />
<pre><br />
/usr/bin/firefox<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Do it again for the preference named ''network.protocol-handler.app.https'' .<br />
<br />
'''N.B.''' Xfce4 users may want to set this preference value to "exo-open", which then will use the browser set up in "Preferred Applications",<br />
<br />
You can now click on URL directly to launch them into Firefox !<br />
<br />
==Alternative method==<br />
Go to your hidden thunderbird directory in your home directory.<br />
<pre><br />
cd /home/YOURUSERNAME/.thunderbird<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Or use a graphical filebrowser like Konqueror or Nautilus. Make sure to enable 'view hidden files and folders.'<br />
<br />
You'll see a folder that looks something like this<br />
<pre><br />
ocj1fmh9.default<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Go into that folder and find the file named prefs.js and open it with your text editor of choice.<br />
<br />
'''''IMPORTANT - Make absolute sure that Thunderbird is CLOSED. Otherwise this change to the text file will have no effect.'''''<br />
<br />
Add to the bottom of the prefs.js file the following lines and save the file (alternatively, you can add the lines to a new file called user.js).<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/firefox");<br />
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/usr/bin/firefox");<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Note: As far as the standard firefox package from the extra repository is concerned, the binary path is now /usr/bin/firefox. To check the path of your firefox binary manually, use the command:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
which firefox<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==Setting Firefox to open links in new tabs/new windows==<br />
You can change whether links are opened in new tabs or in new windows by opening up /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox in a text editor.<br />
<br />
There are two lines near the top that say:<br />
<pre><br />
OPEN_IN=new-window<br />
#OPEN_IN=new-tab<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
This setup will open URL's in a new window. Simply comment the first line and uncomment the second line to open URL's in a new tab!<br />
<br />
Another way to do that is to select the right radiobutton in ''Edit/Preferences/Tabs'' in your Firefox browser menu.</div>Sermaghttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Thunderbird_Export_URLs&diff=140267Thunderbird Export URLs2011-05-07T12:10:20Z<p>Sermag: /* The preferred method (does not need require restarting Thunderbird) */</p>
