Clicking any link in Thunderbird opens Firefox home page

HP 15-R040TU notebook. (new Celeron dual core, 2.xGHz.)
Tahrpup 6.0.2 full install
Thunderbird and Firefox

When I click a link in an email, Firefox is activated, but the link address is not transferred. All I get is my Firefox home page. Been like this since installed, at least 3 mths. What else do you need to know?

hi boof

in thunderbird go into its preferences, then click the 'attachments' tab and then 'incoming'.

set http & https to /opt/firefox/firefox

I use sylpheed and I have the external command to open firefox:

Code: Select all

firefox '%s'

Note that there is '%s' after firefox (or defaultbrowser for example) to pass an argument. I think you should append to the external command in thunderbird a similar code to pass an argument. I don't know what code thunderbird uses.
