Any ideas on to get Thunderbird 3.0b4 to use Firefox as it's browser?

Thanks

I updated T'bird from 2 to 3.0 from the Moz repo yesterday and it uses
Firefox. Looking in config I see
network.protocol-handler.app.http and .https both set to 'firefox'

I think I must have set that ages ago.

I have the same problem. I did what you describe. No luck.

I had trouble with my migrated TB3 profile so I created a new one. The
new one does not have those config items - and uses Fx. Hmmmm.

What about the KDE default browser? I'm on 11.0/KDE3 and I set that in
Control Centre > KDE components > component chooser > web browser >
"mozillafirefox"

But I remember setting that to get iPlayer desktop to open the BBC
website in Fx, not for TB.

I went to the menu Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Config Editor and set
the following values to true:

network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http boolean true
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https boolean true

I initially set these with the beta version and it looks like the update
to version 3 kept these values. Anyways, firefox is working for me when
I click on a link in Thunderbird.

Regards,

Eric
