[SOLVED, kind of] Upgrade broke thunderbird 2
After the big update some days ago thunderbird 2 does not open anymore. No error messages on konsole, it says
thunderbird
and turns to comand line.
Thunderbird 3 works but does not open link in browsers and I like more the old version.

I'ld say that thunderbird depends on libjpg/libpng. So you'ld have to rebuild thund 2.
I think you have to define the default browser in thunderbird 3: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20315

Thanks for quick reply, user.js does or network.protocol.handler.http do not work either, tried this before.
You mean compiling it from source?

I don't know, how you got tb2.
TB3: Are you sure, you didn't make an error with network.protocol-handler.app.http? Maybe it'll help to put the whole ff-path:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/usr/bin/firefox");

Re: [SOLVED, kind of] Upgrade broke thunderbird 2
thunderbird 2 is the original arch package
cat .thunderbird/*****.default/user.js
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http","/usr/bin/google-chrome");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https","/usr/bin/google-chrome");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp","/usr/bin/google-chrome");also choosing /usr/bin/google-chrome (o firefox) in the config editor of thunderbird3 at network.protocol-handler....http does nothing.

Re: [SOLVED, kind of] Upgrade broke thunderbird 2
get the PKGBUILD for tb2 from svn and rebuild thunderbird yourself.
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: [SOLVED, kind of] Upgrade broke thunderbird 2
thanks for this idea, just now I resolved in Thunderbird3 installing the addon "thunderbrowse", after restart it asks if you want open links in thunderbird itself or in which browser, I have inserted /usr/bin/google-chrome and now links open.
Maybe I'm staying with TB 3 now.

Re: [SOLVED, kind of] Upgrade broke thunderbird 2
As for the links not opening fromout thunderbird, I had the same problem. This one was easy to fix. See this thread.
To know or not to know ...
... the questions remain forever.

Re: [SOLVED, kind of] Upgrade broke thunderbird 2
Just for those who still want to stay with tb2: rebuilding tb2 from PKGBUILD needs the following patch to be applied.
