How to open http links in your emails with Firefox

Posted in Linux at 00:39 by Arkham

If you want your Thunderbird open http links in Firefox and not with Epiphany or Konqueror do:

Go to your ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/ folder
Go to your profile directory (usually it has a random generated name like 7s37jl21.default)
Check if a prefs.js file exists in that folder
Create a new user.js file; if it does exist skip this step
Open it with your preferred editor (like vi, emacs, nano, kate, gedit …)

Type in the following line:

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http","/usr/bin/firefox");

That’s all
