As an additional data point (I think the "something's seriously broken" statement has some truth to it), I removed Chrome altogether from my system, leaving FireFox as the only browser. After re-starting Thunderbird, clicking on links in it does nothing at all--FireFox is not invoked. Thunderbird's error console reports: Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIExternalProtocolService.loadUrl]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://communicator/content/contentAreaClick.js :: openLinkExternally :: line 188" data: no] Don't understand this completely, but it seems clear it tried to open Chrome. Re-installing Chrome reverts to previously reported behavior--all links in Thunderbird open Chrome, not FireFox. -- Tim Evans, TKEvans.com, Inc. | 5 Chestnut Court UNIX System Admin Consulting | Owings Mills, MD 21117 http://www.tkevans.com/ | 443-394-3864 http://www.come-here.com/News/ | tkevans@xxxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
