Since installing this RPM, everytime I click on an email link in firefox it brings up evolution. If I wanted to use evolution, I would. I don't want to. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-1.0.6-1.1.fc4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start firefox 2.click on an email link 3. Actual Results: evolution configuration wizard opens (I won't configure it; don't want to use it.) Expected Results: thunderbird compose window should have opened. Additional info: I am about to dump the firefox and thundeerbird RPMs for Fedora and install the tar balls from Mozilla.
So configure Thunderbird as your default email program. Fedora Menu > Desktop > Preferences > More Preferences > Preferred Applications. Or get it to it by running /usr/bin/gnome-default-applications-properties Select Thunderbird as your mail client from the drop down list.
I don't use gnome. I use kde. I did set thunderbird as the default email program in kde. Firefox is not honoring that.
Fedora cannot support both KDE and GNOME's default application choice. We have to choose one. Sorry if this is an inconvenience to you.
