At this point, we're going to only be taking security fixes and major stability fixes into this release of Fedora. However, we still want to ensure the bug is fixed in the next version. We'd appreciate if you could test with the latest version of Thunderbird (2.0.0.12) now available for your distribution and provide feedback as to whether the problem still exists so we can file a ticket upstream as soon as possible. This still happens with 2.0.0.12 on Fedora 8, and I've also tested this time on a RHEL 5 WS box with the same result. We found that this bug has been already registered in the upstream database (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422673) and believe that it is more appropriate to let it be resolved upstream. Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the centralized upstream bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates. Thank you for the bug report. Cannot reproduce with thunderbird-2.0.0.14-1.fc9.i386 The problem persists for me running while thunderbird-2.0.0.14-1.fc9.i386. I've just re-installed Thunderbird from yum to double-check and if I click on news:// links even after a fresh install it still asks me to open another application to handle the link.

Could you rename your ~/.thunderbird/*/prefs.js file to something else and restart thunderbird, please? (you will have to recreate your account setting; please, be sure to backup your ~/.thunderbird directory before doing anything there) Does it help? If yes, please, attach such prefs.js file to this bug. Thank you Created attachment 308326 [details]
Prefs file from ~/.thunderbird that remained in place during upgrade
Created attachment 308327 [details]
Prefs file generated fresh after ~/.thunderbird was moved.
OK 2 attachments here. What I did was to mv ~/.thunderbird ~/.thunderbird.old and restart Thunderbird (I checked there were no lingering thunderbird processes). The two prefs.js files are attached above as requested; one from the ~/.thunderbird.old directory that would have been in place during the RPM install and the new one generated entirely by the latest thunderbird-2.0.0.14-1.fc9.i386. |
