Manually installing Firefox 1.5.11 and T-Bird almost done...

#1 Post by perixx »

Hello...


I managed to remove the outdated Seamonkey and install Firefox and Seamonkey by hand in Puppy... the only problem: internet links in my emails won't open a window or tab in my browser. How do I link T-Bird to Firefox in Puppy?

please help!

Find the hidden file that looks something like /root/.thunderbird/rt38kjjx.default/prefs.js. The rt38kjjx bit will be different for you.

See if the line,

Code: Select all

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "defaultbrowser"); 
is in it. If not then add it in. Then use the defaults wizard to make sure that Firefox is your default browser.

Thanks for the tip keilor!

I'll try that eventually after I set up a new Puppy distro.
