Which Application to Use To Open Link
Posted: Wed 06 Aug 2014, 06:58
I am having difficulty opening a link in T-bird in one environment, but, not in the other.
Bear with me as I give you the two different environment configurations.
When I use this configuration, let's call it ZaReason config:
Puppy 5.7.1
Seamonkey Browser 2.19
Thunderbird Mail Client 31.0
Gmail as email provider
Machine is Zareason Big Lap Laptop
Thunderbird asked which application would I like to use to open a specific link in an incoming email.
The link is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet ...
I mistakenly put in usr/share/applications/Seamonkey.
I think I should have put in usr/lib/Seamonkey.
Now only that specific Google link in the T-bird mail won't open.
Other different links from other emails do open in T-bird (they don't ask for which application to use).
The Google docs link opens fine when I access it from Seamonkey directly (not through T-bird).
I'm thinking I need to change the application preference to usr/lib/Seamonkey.
Am I correct to think this is the issue?
If so, then
How do I edit the application preference?
When I use this configuration, let's call it Dell-600m Config:
Puppy 5.2.8
SeaMonkey 2.26.1
Thunderbird 31.0
Gmail as email provider
Machine is Dell Inspiron 600m not portable
The Google docs link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet opens with no issues in T-bird.
I am taking the ZaReason machine to a meeting tomorrow. (The Dell is not portable)
Thank you for any assistance.
Shown below is 'Default Application Chooser' which is listed in 571 menu/setup.
