| − | == Opening links in Thunderbird with Firefox ==
| + | |
| − | Launch Thunderbird and navigate to the ''Config Editor'' by clicking the following menu items:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ''Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Config Editor''.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Right click in the list of parameters, select ''New'' and ''String'' in the menu.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A box appears, asking you for the preference name. Put :
| + | |
| − | network.protocol-handler.app.http
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Click OK, the box then asks you for the value : set it to :
| + | |
| − | /usr/bin/firefox
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Do it again for the preference named {{ic|network.protocol-handler.app.https}} .
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {{Note|Xfce4 users may want to set this preference value to "exo-open", which then will use the browser set up in "Preferred Applications".}}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can now click on URL directly to launch them into Firefox !
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Setting Firefox to open links in new tabs/new windows===
| + | |
| − | 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.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There are two lines near the top that say:
| + | |
| − | {{bc|1=
| + | |
| − | OPEN_IN=new-window
| + | |
| − | #OPEN_IN=new-tab
| + | |
| − | }}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 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!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Another way to do that is to select the right radiobutton in ''Edit/Preferences/Tabs'' in your Firefox browser menu.
