https://bbs.archlinux.org – Hi everybody,this is becoming a little nightmare for me. Everytime firefox or thunderbird gets updated their association (open a link on an email with firefox) gets lost.I was the one having troubles when we got firefox 4 and now that we have firefox 5 and thunderbid 5 things got even worst.I tried all the suggestions in the ff4 post, of course changing ff's path to the new /usr/lib/firefox-5.0/firefox but with no luck..So, here I'm once again asking for help to you guys. How the hell can I configure thunderbird 5 to open links in firefox 5? No gnome here, just KDE.Thanks,Fabio (HowTos)

Stories similar to firefox 5 and thunderbird 5 association

I would take this question over to Mozilla.org and not here at askubuntu.com except for the following:

This is a brand new install of Ubuntu, Firefox and Thunderbird. On the same computer I also have band new installs of Firefox and Thunderbird for the Wondows7 partition. And they are running perfectly. One of the Firefox lockups is totally reproducible.

Search the web tried a few different fixes and thus far all have failed.

When i click on a URL in the body of a Thunderbird email nothing happens.

If i right click > open in browser nothing happens.

apparmor and Firefox 13 weeks 1 day ago

I am currently re-setting up the apparmor profile for Firefox 19.0.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 and I am slightly confused.

Recently, various versions of Firefox and Thunderbird released.

Hello, In Ubuntu 12.04 I can see this behaviour:in my thunderbird screen when I click in any link inside of email, that action show me the firefox immediately loading the page... that avoid me continue reading the email or click in others links. so I need do ctrol + tab and comeback to TB to continue my reading.... Is there a way to avoid it?

Since I use Chrome or Chromium and use Gmail for emails, I have no need for Thunderbird or Firefox. No problems removing Thunderbird but when I try to remove Firefox, it wants to install Epiphany and it's dependencies.

How do I just remove Firefox and leave Chrome as the only browser?

Having difficulty re-installing Firefox, after an installation to resolve places.sqlite issues. It appears that I'm trapped in circular dependency hell.

Need to resolve firefox dependency hell to attempt to resolve Tomcat6 project dependencies (don't ask), ASAP.

Firefox 4 延期至 2011 年初 2 years 33 weeks ago

Mozilla 宣布 Firefox 4 将延期至 2011 年初。

由于对于部分 Bug 修复所需的时间和工作量超出原先预期，Mozilla 负责人 Mike Beltzner 宣布原定今年年底发布的 Firefox 4 将延期至 2011 年初。

同时新的 Beta 发布日程表也更新到 Mozilla Wiki 上。

消息来源：UberGizmo

另外在 Firefox 3.6 Win 版本爆出安全漏洞的48小时内，Mozilla 推送了 Firefox 3.6.12，Thunderbird 3.1.6 更新，SeaMonkey 2.0.10 更新稍后将至。尽管根据早先报道，该漏洞只会影响允许在 XP 系统上的 Firefox 3.6 及更早版本（某国盛行关闭 UAC 的 Vista/7 情况未知），但是依然强烈推荐所有用户更新到此版本。

I'd upgrade to Slackware64-14.0 and when I was with 13.1, I had the latest firefox and thunderbird installed by scripts, each one in my native language. But now I would like to use the official slackware's packages, and notice that they show up in english after I upgraded to slackware64-14.0.
