[SOLVED] FF "send link" doesn't open TB
« on: May 11, 2010, 03:05:14 PM »
This feels like desaveu all over again but it's only similar to an earlier solved problem.
When I choose to "send link" from FF, KMail opens. I use TB.
Can anyone tell me what to change in FF about:config (I imagine) to make it point to Thunderbird?

Thanks Menotu, I knew it had to be simple but not THAT simple.  :o
Is it possible to delete this question so my ignorance is not so obvious?  ::)

ignorance is never something to be ashamed of as long as learning follows.

Learning is never a problem. I learn something new every day.

Unfortunately, at my age it seems that what I learn today may easily have been what I learned a few days ago.  ;)
