I'm not sure if this is an FC5 or Firefox issue, but I've

comes up.
Can anyone give me a pointer as to where to find any error
messages to debug this problem?
Thanks,

Try running gnome-default-applications-properties
from the command line
Thanks for the suggestion. Running $
gnome-default-applications-properties
from the command line gave me exactly the same thing as
"System"->"Preferences"->"More Preferences"->"Preferred Applications"
and the exact same result: nothing comes up when "File"->"Send Link..."
is selected from Firefox 2.

From the command line, try the command
which firefox
If firefox was installed in a location that is not in the PATH variable
then it will not be "found" even if it is specified as the preferred
application.
You could also specify the full path name to the locations at which you
have installed firefox. Run "gnome-default-applications-properties"
and give it the full path name instead of just the invocation name.
I.e. /myprograms/firefox
BTW, on my FC5 system, firefox shows up at /usr/bin/firefox and was
installed via yum update.
