Description of problem: right click on a link in an email body and select "open link in browser" should open the link in a browser. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.1.9 1.fc15 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.right click on link 2.select "Open Link in Browser" 3. Actual results: Disappointment Expected results: Link opened in running browser or browser spawned with link Additional info: The functionality of controlling preferred applications for email and browsing is not available under gnome-shell via control-panel A work around is to copy the link and paste into the browser - this is not really an acceptable long term solution.
opening links from the gnome-terminal seems to work OK I just noticed.
(In reply to comment #0) > Additional info: > The functionality of controlling preferred applications for email and browsing > is not available under gnome-shell via control-panel It is, but it is in a different place ... System Info / Default Applications However, this is just default ... check the current setting for Thunderbird in Edit / Preferences / Advanced / Editor Configuration variable network.protocol-handler.app.http. Default value is /usr/lib*/thunderbird-3.1/open-browser.sh Thank you
Thanks for this, I'm mark it as not a bug. The issue was that I had stale info in my home directory gconf settings as I was using firefox4 from the remi repo before I installed v15. However I have to say "System Info" seems to me to be a bizarre location for what is effectively a Personal choice. I looked under User Accounts - but System Info did not even occur to me as a location for a desktop setting. It seems to me that it should be under Personal in it's own category.
