<para>If your Window or Desktop Manager does not allow you to configure

|
a default browser, you can add a configuration parameter to
|
|
<application>Thunderbird</application> so that a browser will start when
|
|
when you click on an Internet/intranet/local URL. The procedure to check
|
|
or modify any of the configuration parameters is quite simple and the
|
|
instructions here can be used to view or modify any of the
|
|
parameters.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>First, open the configuration dialog by opening the
|
|
<quote>Edit</quote> drop-down menu. Choose <quote>Preferences</quote>
|
|
and then click on the <quote>Advanced</quote> icon on the top menu
|
|
bar. Choose the <quote>Advanced</quote> tab and click on the
|
|
<quote>Config Editor</quote> button. This will display a list of the
|
|
configuration preferences and information related to each one. You can
|
|
use the <quote>Filter:</quote> bar to enter search criteria and narrow
|
|
down the listed items. Changing a preference can be done using two
|
|
methods. One, if the preference has a boolean value (True/False), simply
|
|
double-click on the preference to toggle the value and two, for other
|
|
preferences simply right-click on the desired line, choose
|
|
<quote>Modify</quote> from the menu and change the value. Creating new
|
|
preference items is accomplished in the same way, except choose
|
|
<quote>New</quote> from the menu and provide the desired data into the
|
|
fields when prompted.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The configuration preference item you need to check so that
|
|
<application>Thunderbird</application> uses a specified browser is the
|
|
<parameter>network.protocol-handler.app.http</parameter> which should
|
|
be set to the path of the desired browser, e.g.,
|
|
<option>/usr/bin/firefox</option>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<tip>
|
|
<para>There is a multitude of configuration parameters you can tweak to

|
customize <application>Thunderbird</application>. A very extensive, but
