[Solved] Can't open firefox from thunderbird

When I click a link in thunderbird, nothing happens. I tried opening thunderbird from terminal but I still don't get any errors. When trying to click a link (the register one) in wengophone I get "symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0" from firefox. Any solution?

Re: [Solved] Can't open firefox from thunderbird

Thunderbird by default doesn't handle links it seems, I have added the following lines to my ~/.thunderbird/<profile>/prefs.js:

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/opt/mozilla/bin/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/opt/mozilla/bin/firefox");

If you don't want to edit the file manually, you can use the config editor: http://justanothertechblog.blogspot.com … links.html.

Thanks! Modifying prefs.js didn't worked but with the advanced preferences its just fine.
