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>General</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 not so up-to-date list of these parameters can be found at
|
|
<ulink url="http://preferential.mozdev.org/preferences.html"/>.

If you use a desktop environment like <application>GNOME</application> or

|
<application>KDE</application> you may wish to create a

<filename>thunderbird.desktop</filename> file so that
|
|
<application>Thunderbird</application> appears in the panel's menus. If

you didn't enable <application>startup-notification</application> in your
